The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 275 The 7th S-level talent officially enters the top 3 of film history!

……

That night.

Dilraba gave it her all, showcasing her top-notch dance skills to the fullest, making Lu Zhiyuan feel great all night.

While Lu Zhiyuan was taking a shower, Dilraba took out her phone and transferred 30 yuan to Gao Yuanyuan.

It was agreed that I would receive 30 yuan in pension every month, and not a single day less.

"Thank you for your monthly allowance, sister."

Last month, Gao Yuanyuan was still resentful and didn't want to accept the pension money sent by Dilraba, but this month, she not only accepted it with a smile, but also typed out the words "period money".

This left Dilraba somewhat dazed.

She thought she had traveled into the world of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and become the first wife, giving her husband's concubines their allowances.

This experience was incredibly strange.

"You're welcome, that's right."

After replying to the message, Dilraba put her phone into the bedside table next to her.

However, as she lay in bed, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

"What's the situation now?"

"Not only did I tacitly agree that Gao Yuanyuan was my husband's mistress, but I also gave her 30 yuan a month for retirement to support her eating, drinking, and having fun?"

"Doesn't this mean I'm paying money to support my husband's mistress?"

This feeling is so strange!

Most importantly, the fact that Gao Yuanyuan receives a monthly pension of 30 yuan was something that Dilraba herself took over from Lu Zhiyuan.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became; she simply couldn't express her bitterness!
At that moment, she truly felt like she had shot herself in the foot!
She couldn't tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing.

People will laugh at me to death!

"Dilraba, what are you thinking about?"

After a while, Lu Zhiyuan returned from his shower and instinctively hugged Reba in his arms.

In the past, Dilraba would have chuckled, snuggled into his arms, and acted coquettishly, but something was off today.

Dilraba stood with her back to him, motionless, her little fists clenched tightly, as if cursing someone.

"Honey, I have a question for you."

Dilraba decided to be half-hearted with Lu Zhiyuan and test him first.

"go ahead."

Lu Zhiyuan took out his phone and casually browsed the news, mainly to check the stock performance of Netflix.

House of Cards, a political satire, was very well made and had very high ratings. It became a hit in North America and significantly increased Netflix's subscriber base.

The stock price also tripled.

James Foley, an unknown director, became an overnight sensation with "House of Cards," becoming a star throughout Hollywood.

However, the renowned director David Fincher put in a lot of effort behind the scenes for this series.

Lu Zhiyuan thinks this way mainly because, a few years later, James Foley won the 2019 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Director for "Fifty Shades Freed"... directly exposing his true level.

Netflix went to great lengths to cultivate its own system of directors by bringing in David Fincher to endorse it.

If David Fincher hadn't come, Lu Zhiyuan would have been the one to take the stage.

He has no interest in filming any TV dramas!

Fortunately, David Fincher silently shouldered everything.

When he goes to Los Angeles in October, he has to meet with David Fincher, treat him to a meal, and thank him for everything he has done for Netflix, which has earned him at least $1 billion!
"Husband, I want to ask you this: if we lived in ancient times, men could have multiple wives and concubines. Now that you have me as your first wife, would you want to take concubines?"

Seeing that Lu Zhiyuan's attention was completely elsewhere, Dilraba seized the opportunity to find out the answer he had unconsciously given.

"decide as things go."

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at Reba, his expression unchanged.

He seemed to be giving a perfunctory answer, but he actually gave the correct one.

If a woman asks a man random, nonsensical questions, she usually already has a preconceived answer in mind.

No matter what the man answers, the result is the same.

Although Lu Zhiyuan didn't say anything, Reba seemed to understand and nodded slightly to show her comprehension.

"In ancient times, someone as talented and wealthy as you would only have one wife, me, who is not yet pregnant. I'm afraid the rest of the family would pressure you to take a concubine, have more children, and expand the family."

"Even I, as your legal wife, will probably be under tremendous pressure and will have to offer to help you take concubines to continue the family line, and I will also have to get along well with your concubines."

Men's desire to reproduce is an instinct ingrained in their genes.

Just look at Brother Kun and you'll know.

At this moment, although Reba felt a little uncomfortable, she gradually came to understand.

"Stop overthinking all day. Go to sleep. You'll be starting school in a couple of days, so cherish your last year of college."

"After you graduate, all the family companies will be left to you to manage. You'll be so busy you won't have time to rest."

Lu Zhiyuan stroked Reba's hair, pulled the blanket up a little, and covered Reba's chest to keep her from catching a cold.

The air conditioner is quite cold.

"Ah."

Lu Zhiyuan didn't answer the first question, but before going to sleep, he gave Dilraba the answer she wanted.

She manages the family business.

This means she will always be the first wife, and all the family's assets will go to her... and later, to her children!
This made Dilraba very satisfied.

……

The next morning.

Lu Zhiyuan went to work at the event horizon of the black hole to confirm with Schwarzschild the visual effects for the movie "Godzilla" and the special effects engine needed.

Dilraba, on the other hand, arranged to meet Gao Yuanyuan formally again.

"Sister Cha, why did you invite me to the company?"

Dilraba originally wanted to ask Gao Yuanyuan to have a coffee together.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuanyuan asked Reba to come to Yuangao Technology.

Reba hesitated for a moment, but eventually came.

Playing away from home, she felt a little uncertain.

"Good morning, Mr. Gao."

"Mr. Gao, the documents have been placed in your office."

Gao Yuanyuan brought Reba to the company, and to Reba's surprise, the employees there all treated Gao Yuanyuan with great respect.

It comes from the bottom of my heart.

It's not about respecting Gao Yuanyuan because of someone else's reputation.

Dilraba could sense it.

When she went to Yuankun Media, the employees outwardly respected her, but that was only because of the title "Mrs. Lu".

Rather than respect for her personally.

The differences between the two are still quite significant.

"Please sit down!"

Gao Yuanyuan brought Reba to her office, where she signed several documents and then had her secretary pour Reba a cup of tea.

After seeing Reba drink tea, she slowly began to speak: "This company was founded by Zhiyuan and me. At the beginning, I had 70% of the shares."

"Later, a military industrial enterprise in the Northwest raised tens of millions of yuan through private placement, diluting 30% of its shares."

"I still own about 49% of the shares."

At this point, Gao Yuanyuan looked up at Dilraba and said with a smile, "However, during the preview screening of 'Art Students,' an executive from a Middle Eastern conglomerate was invited to Los Angeles to watch our film."

"After returning, he persuaded the various shareholders within the consortium to place a $10 billion order with our Far East Technology."

"This directly increased the valuation of our Far East Technology several times over, reaching 30 billion US dollars."

"And the 49% stake I own is worth $15 billion!"

15 billion US dollars!
Upon hearing this number, Dilraba couldn't help but look up and glance at Gao Yuanyuan a few more times.

Dilraba originally thought that she was already very rich, with over a billion RMB.

Who knew that Gao Yuanyuan also had over a billion dollars, but the unit was US dollars!
Tea Sister is so rich!

But... all this money was earned with my husband's help!
Without my husband, you wouldn't even earn a fart.

Spit it back on right now!

This is our family's money!
"Although the company's valuation has soared, the title of being number one in the world is too dazzling and puts me under tremendous pressure."

"I know I can't live up to that title."

"Therefore, after discussing it with my elder brother, I sold 30% of the shares to the Northwest military industry enterprise behind Jing Tian."

"The other party was very accommodating, paying a 10% premium for the acquisition, which brought me approximately 65 billion RMB, equivalent to about 10 billion USD!"

Gao Yuanyuan was originally a major shareholder of Yuan Technology, holding 49% of the shares.

However, after the robot dog developed by Yuan Gao Technology became the world's number one, she wisely sold 30% of the shares and handed them over to the military industrial enterprise in the Northwest, making the latter the major shareholder with a controlling stake of nearly 60%!

From this moment forward, Yuangao Technology is a completely state-owned joint-stock military enterprise!

All of their shareholders are partners in this Northwest military-industrial enterprise, and naturally, their personal safety is also protected by the other party.

In terms of reputation, needless to say.

If Gao Yuanyuan wanted, she could even apply to have her name blocked on the internet, turning it directly into a military secret.

"Sister Cha, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Dilraba seemed a little nervous.

Gao Yuanyuan is so rich and has such a strong background in technology. Does she not want to be a mistress anymore? Did she call me over today to give me some face?
For example, would they just throw a few hundred million US dollars at you and let you go?

"What I'm trying to say is that now, there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the two of us to work together."

Gao Yuanyuan is much kinder than Reba thought.

At this moment, in response to Reba's rambling thoughts, Gao Yuanyuan pushed a research report in front of her: "This is a chip technology company called Nvidia. Its current market value is around 75 billion US dollars."

"My older brother told me that as our high-tech robot dogs continue to iterate their technology, the requirements for graphics processing will become increasingly higher."

"In the field of graphics processing, Nvidia is highly likely to break through and become the leading company in the market."

"Therefore, I plan to buy a large amount of this company's stock on the secondary market, and then have a detailed talk with the company's boss, Huang Renxun."

"I hope that Nvidia will establish a research and development center in Yanjing."

"Then, it is handed over to TSMC's wafer fab in Songjiang Science and Technology Park in Shanghai for production."

"The chips produced can be sold to mobile phone manufacturers and computer manufacturers, in addition to being supplied to some of the companies that produce them."

Dilraba understood what Gao Yuanyuan was saying.

Doesn't Lu Zhiyuan like playing with robots?

The robotics company is a crucial national strategic asset, which Gao Yuanyuan cannot control. However, she can move upstream in the industrial chain.

Among the upstream companies most likely to become industry leaders, select a potential stock and start investing early.

Whether in personal friendships or business matters, she will exert a huge influence within this company.

In this way, wouldn't she have indirectly gained control of the Far East Technology Company?
“I have $10 billion. You can contribute any amount, and we’ll set up an investment company and then buy a large amount of Nvidia stock.”

"Even if we can't exert a huge influence on this company, Nvidia's boss should still give us some face for the sake of the capital market."

"Sometimes, a little bit of face is enough to get a lot done."

Gao Yuanyuan was completely honest with Dilraba.

She laid out her entire plan without hesitation.

This puzzled Dilraba greatly: "Tea Sister, why are you telling me this? Since you have 10 billion US dollars, you can buy whatever you want."

Gao Yuanyuan laughed, went up and held Reba's hand, and said sincerely, "Didn't we agree yesterday to be best friends? I'm not a person who goes back on their word."

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to use this method to tell Dilraba that she wouldn't steal Dilraba's boyfriend.

Everyone gets along well.

That's how you keep a man.

If they fight amongst themselves, other women will definitely take advantage of the situation.

Lu Zhiyuan hates these things the most.

Although Gao Yuanyuan was very friendly, Dilraba wasn't so easily fooled and said coldly, "But you've told me so much, you must have your own demands, right?"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "As long as you agree to one condition, I am willing to be your best friend for life and never betray you."

"What conditions?"

Gao Yuanyuan actually has 10 billion US dollars.

With $10 billion, she still wants to be her husband's mistress?
This left Reba completely baffled.

"Reba, let me start with a hypothesis."

"If I get pregnant, could you and Zhiyuan get a divorce first? Then have him get a marriage certificate with me, so the child can have a legitimate identity."

Seeing Dilraba raise an eyebrow, pick up her bag, and prepare to leave.

Gao Yuanyuan quickly went up and grabbed Reba, pleadingly saying, "After we get the marriage certificate and give the child a proper status, I'll get a divorce certificate with him and give him back to you."

Reba couldn't help but sneer: "You've really thought things through far ahead! It's not even a sure thing yet, and you've already planned out all the possible escape routes?"

Gao Yuanyuan stays at home all day, does nothing but fantasize about her husband!

She even fantasized about having a son with her husband.

How abominable!

“Reba, I’ll tell you everything that’s happened beforehand. That way we won’t start arguing again, and he’ll definitely get annoyed.”

"You know he doesn't like getting involved in this kind of messy stuff."

The moment Lu Zhiyuan was mentioned, Gao Yuanyuan reverted to her love-struck self, unlike before when she was cold and aloof like a domineering CEO, rational and far-sighted.

Dilraba snorted coldly: "Since you know he doesn't like this kind of messy stuff, why do you insist on getting involved? There are so many good men in the world, why are you fixated on my husband?"

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Dilraba and said in a calm tone, "If I don't keep an eye on him, does that mean the others won't?"

"As far as I know, Jing Tian still can't forget him. I'm really worried that the two of them will rekindle their romance."

"Aren't you worried?"

Of course I'm worried!
But why should I tell you?
Dilraba twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head away, and prepared to go out.

She didn't want to hear any more of those pointless words!

“Reba, I know you’re not happy. But I want to tell you that men with a net worth of over 10 billion all appear respectable on the surface, but in reality, they have multiple wives and concubines all the time.”

"And he, his net worth is almost over 100 billion!"

"He's obsessed with becoming the greatest of all time, but you know what? He's already in the top 3 of all time!"

"He was truly brilliant. As dazzling as the sun."

"You can't protect him by yourself."

“From now on, you can stay home and help him manage his businesses, while I'll accompany him on film shoots. I've already been a producer once, so I know this industry inside and out.”

"Besides, I'll be there for him. When he sees me, he'll feel guilty towards you and won't go looking for other women."

“But if it weren’t for me, other women would seduce him and make him make mistakes… and once he makes a mistake, he will make it countless times.”

Gao Yuanyuan's words implied to Dilraba that it would be better for her to keep an eye on Lu Zhiyuan than to let him go astray outside!
Finding her, this mistress, is enough.

If you don't have a single mistress, you'll have a whole bunch of mistresses.

"In principle, I disagree!"

After saying that, Dilraba turned and left.

However, after a while, Dilraba sent Gao Yuanyuan a message: "Send me an email with information about Nvidia, in more detail."

What a proud and arrogant little girl.

Upon seeing this message, Gao Yuanyuan was overjoyed and even changed her way of addressing her: "Sister, I'll have my secretary send you the information right away."

Dilraba said she disagreed, but she actually agreed in her heart.

But how could I possibly say such a thing?

It’s good if everyone knows it well.

This is the tacit understanding between sisters, emphasizing mutual cooperation.

From this moment forward, the two of them have formed a united front, just like the Sun-Liu alliance during the Three Kingdoms period, to jointly resist Cao Cao!
……

the other side.

Lu Zhiyuan was originally at the event horizon of the black hole, discussing the special effects engine with Schwarzschild.

Suddenly, he received a message from Gao Yuanyuan's older sister, asking him to meet her when he had time to discuss something very important.

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother rarely sends messages to Lu Zhiyuan, especially not in such a solemn tone.

This puzzled Lu Zhiyuan greatly.

He didn't even have time for lunch before driving straight to Yuan Gao Technology. As soon as he entered, he asked, "Brother Gao, what's the matter?"

"Zhiyuan, sit tight. I have some important news to announce."

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother pressed Lu Zhiyuan into a chair.

They were afraid that Lu Zhiyuan would lose his footing after hearing the news.

His tense and serious demeanor amused Lu Zhiyuan: "Brother Gao, go ahead and tell me, I'm pretty good at handling things."

"Zhiyuan, my sister has gone mad!"

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother always brings bombshell news when he speaks.

"She's getting married. But not only is she getting married, she's also planning to use all of Far East Technology's shares as her dowry."

After saying this, Gao Yuanyuan's older brother began to berate her relentlessly.

"She only invested a little money in this company; I did the technology, and you did the marketing and promotion."

"Many technological development paths were discovered by the two of us through countless hours of discussion and verification."

"It's one thing for her to reap the benefits without effort, but why should she use the company's shares as a dowry to give to other men?"

Are you willing to accept this? I certainly am not!

After Gao Yuanyuan's older brother finished speaking, he paced back and forth in the office angrily.

It's perfectly normal for Gao Yuanyuan to want to get married.

But Gao Yuanyuan wanted to give all of Yuan Technology's shares as a dowry to another man, which surprised Lu Zhiyuan.

There were also some unhappy ones.

Logically speaking, this makes sense.

However, emotionally, he couldn't accept it.

"Zhiyuan, why aren't you saying anything? Are you furious with her?!"

When Gao Yuanyuan’s older brother saw that Lu Zhiyuan remained silent, he wondered if this tactic had also failed.

impossible!

That's the most brilliant way to provoke someone.

After a moment, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Gao, you've gone to such lengths for your sister. It must have been really tough on you. When you were lying just now, your eyes unconsciously darted to the upper left corner. You gave yourself away."

Lu Zhiyuan was almost fooled.

But Gao Yuanyuan's older brother isn't a professional actor, and his acting skills are really terrible. How could he possibly act in such a clumsy scene in front of a director of his stature?

After realizing the truth, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be speechless.

"Ha~ha~"

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother smiled awkwardly: "I'm really not good at acting and lying."

After calming down, Gao Yuanyuan's older brother also spoke frankly with Lu Zhiyuan: "Although this has not happened yet, it may become a reality in the future."

"You should still think about it."

"We know perfectly well what my sister thinks of you."

"To be honest, I was very surprised by her obsession with you. But she's just obsessed with you. If I don't help her, she might not jump off the 30th floor, but she'll definitely be depressed and lose her appetite every day."

"Furthermore, I have another piece of news to tell you... She sold 30% of her shares in Far East Technology for $10 billion and is currently buying up Nvidia shares on the secondary market!"

"The chip industry, which we've discussed, is probably the weakest high-end manufacturing industry in our country."

"Her $10 billion will most likely get her more than 10% of Nvidia's shares. Although it won't get her a seat on Nvidia's board of directors, she will become one of Nvidia's top three shareholders as the founder of Far East Tech, and she will gain unprecedented prestige in the technology industry."

"If she insists on arguing with you and ultimately chooses to marry a foreigner... our entire company, as well as our businesses, will suffer huge losses."

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother, although he didn't make his point very clearly.

But Lu Zhiyuan understood. What Gao Yuanyuan meant was… for the sake of our Yuan Technology's robotics business, you must win over my sister!
“My sister has become incredibly stubborn and disobedient since she grew up. Only you can make her listen to you.”

After explaining, Gao Yuanyuan's older brother patted Lu Zhiyuan on the shoulder meaningfully: "Zhiyuan, you'll have to work hard from now on."

If Lu Zhiyuan could be my brother-in-law, Gao Yuanyuan's older brother, I'd welcome him with open arms.

Having known him for so many years, he knew Lu Zhiyuan very well and was certain he wouldn't let his sister down.

However, things have developed to this point, which is quite frustrating.

Gao Yuanyuan was determined to be with Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan had already registered his marriage with Dilraba.

This makes things very complicated.

It's so complex that even Gao Yuanyuan's older brother, a Tsinghua University PhD, couldn't calculate an optimal solution and could only proceed step by step.

"Zhiyuan, my sister is now in your care. Once a girl is given away in our family, we do not accept returns."

"You should take her away quickly... She comes to bother me every day, and the development progress of several of my projects has been greatly affected."

Gao Yuanyuan's older brother has left.

Seeing that Lu Zhiyuan did not object, he actually showed a relaxed expression.

……

Lu Zhiyuan roughly understood what Gao Yuanyuan was up to.

Isn't this just causing him trouble?
He shook his head, preparing to pack his bags tomorrow and take the whole team to scout locations... Whenever he had free time, something would always happen.

It's quieter when filming movies.

When he's making his own movies, no one dares to mess with him.

"Honey, you've been chatting with my brother all this time, you must not have eaten yet, right? Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Gao Yuanyuan's immediate response, "Husband," completely baffled Lu Zhiyuan.

There are other people in the company.

"Gao Yuanyuan, have you gone mad?"

Lu Zhiyuan pulled Gao Yuanyuan aside, frowned, and asked, "What exactly have you been up to lately? You said on TV that you liked me, that's one thing. But you also implied to the audience that you wanted to be my mistress, that's unnecessary, isn't it?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear: "I didn't say it explicitly. How the audience interprets it is not something I can control."

Gao Yuanyuan's completely resigned attitude left Lu Zhiyuan feeling quite helpless.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Although Gao Yuanyuan's interview was full of suggestive remarks, she did not explicitly say anything.

Lu Zhiyuan's forced accusation against Gao Yuanyuan was somewhat unfair to her.

"And what did you call me just now?"

Lu Zhiyuan heard the word "husband" clearly just now.

Seeing that Lu Zhiyuan was somewhat impatient, Gao Yuanyuan felt a little wronged, but at this moment, she absolutely could not back down or be soft-hearted.

She hardened her heart, looked directly at Lu Zhiyuan, and said with a "what the heck" attitude, "If you don't want to be my husband, I'll find a foreigner and marry myself off tomorrow. As for the dowry, my older brother should have already told you."

After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Zhiyuan speechless for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Are you willing to do that?"

Of course I can’t bear to do that!
I put so much effort and hard work into building this company, and you're giving it all away to foreigners, along with all the people in it?
I want to strangle you!
"Honey, I know you're reluctant to let go."

"You can't bear to leave the company, and you can't bear to leave me. You've got me completely under your thumb. You have me wrapped around your little finger."

"You know I won't let go. You're just looking for an opportunity to convince yourself of your own fastidiousness."

Seeing that no one was around, Gao Yuanyuan pulled Lu Zhiyuan into the emergency staircase.

She went straight up and hugged Lu Zhiyuan's arm, nestled her head against his chest, and spoke in a very gentle tone.

“Honey, I’ve already talked to Dilraba. She’ll help you run the company and protect your base. I’ll accompany you to filming and take good care of you on the way. Besides, it’ll also prevent you from cheating on me and ruining your health.”

What exactly is she saying?
Besides, whether I steal food or not is none of your business.

"Gao Yuanyuan, are you sick?"

Lu Zhiyuan felt that Gao Yuanyuan was talking in her sleep.

He reached out and touched Gao Yuanyuan's forehead, then looked into her eyes.

I've heard that during a psychotic episode, the muscles around the eyes twitch because the brain releases too much dopamine.

In short, mentally ill patients are different from normal people.

After watching for a while, Lu Zhiyuan noticed that Gao Yuanyuan's expression was indeed somewhat unusual. She was too excited, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were very bright.

This is clearly a symptom of excessive dopamine secretion.

However, it's hard to say for sure whether it's a mental illness.

“Gao Yuanyuan, how long have you had these symptoms? Have you seen a doctor? You seemed perfectly normal while we were filming. It was my negligence that I didn’t take good care of you.”

Lu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuanyuan's older brother are like-minded friends. Although they are more than 10 years apart in age, they feel like they have known each other for a long time.

Lu Zhiyuan felt terrible for causing his best friend's sister to go insane.

"I've been poisoned by you, and only you have the cure for me."

Gao Yuanyuan felt a little excited when she saw how much Lu Zhiyuan cared about her.

Although Lu Zhiyuan's concern about whether she had a mental illness left Gao Yuanyuan speechless.

But it's okay.

At that moment, Gao Yuanyuan stood on tiptoe and gave Lu Zhiyuan a light kiss on the cheek.

"Honey, I know you haven't figured things out yet. But it won't be long before you realize that it's not that I'm mentally ill. It's just that the world is different from what you think."

Ever since she met Lu Zhiyuan, Gao Yuanyuan felt like she had gone crazy.

For the past four years, he has not dated any other men and has been trying to get closer to Lu Zhiyuan every day.

In order to date Lu Zhiyuan, she first tried to please him by taking out her own savings and investing in Yuan Gao Technology, a company she co-founded with Lu Zhiyuan, to research robots that she herself had no interest in.

Then, she changed her makeup, transforming into the kind of "green tea" look that Lu Zhiyuan liked.

Although Lu Zhiyuan never said anything like he liked her.

However, Gao Yuanyuan knew that Lu Zhiyuan liked girls like her the most.

She has the confidence!

After all, Lu Zhiyuan helped her change her makeup.

To please Lu Zhiyuan, she did something incredibly crazy: she spent nearly £2000 million to buy Monet's "Water Lilies" as a birthday gift for him.

And now, in order to become Lu Zhiyuan's mistress, she has done something even more outrageous...

She used reverse psychology, saying that if Lu Zhiyuan continued to push her away, she would take the company shares and marry a foreigner.

Once this tactic was used, Lu Zhiyuan could no longer keep up the act.

"Honey, I know you don't like it when women interfere with your filming, and you don't like it when we argue and fight, which affects your mood and distracts you."

"Don't worry, Reba and I will get along well and there will be no conflict. I will make you feel that your home is not peaceful."

As Gao Yuanyuan spoke, she hugged Lu Zhiyuan tightly.

This time, Lu Zhiyuan did not push her away.

"Honey, you smell so good."

"When I can't see you, it feels like countless ants are tearing at my heart, just like the Miao witchcraft in novels."

"I only feel a little better when I see you."

"And now, holding you, I feel that the unbearable itching in my body is slowly disappearing, making me feel comfortable all over."

Gao Yuanyuan was indeed poisoned.

Lu Zhiyuan even knew which type of poison she had been given.

Guy Ritchie has an extraordinary attraction to female celebrities!

Because of the huge success of the movie "Art Students", Gao Yuanyuan, the female lead, also became incredibly popular, becoming the hottest female celebrity in the world in August.

When the poison takes effect, it's even harder to resist than before!
She did many irrational things, all because of the system's influence.

"Xiao Gao, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Zhiyuan gently stroked Gao Yuanyuan's back with one hand and touched her hair with the other.

It's just such a simple action.

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but let out a "hmm" sound, creating a suggestive atmosphere.

At this moment, she looked up at Lu Zhiyuan with eyes that seemed to be filled with tears.

"I'm a little hungry, I'm going to eat first."

Lu Zhiyuan knew perfectly well what that look meant.

However, he had to restrain himself.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan released Gao Yuanyuan, turned around, opened the emergency exit, and walked out himself.

For a moment, Gao Yuanyuan's eyes dimmed.

However, when she thought about how gentle Lu Zhiyuan had been with her today, compared to his previous harsh rejections, it was an improvement of many times over.

She told herself to be patient.

Keep it up, Xiao Gao!

He likes you!

The way you look in someone's eyes when you like them is harder to hide than a murder!
He couldn't hide it any longer.

……

There are many restaurants near the Far East High-Tech Park.

The arrival of Lu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuanyuan caused a huge sensation.

However, most white-collar workers are not mindless fans... Although they are curious, they only take a few extra glances and do not take any extreme actions.

However, discussions about it during leisure time are naturally inevitable.

"Did I see that right? The famous director Lu Zhiyuan and Gao Yuanyuan, they're having dinner together here?"

"What's the big deal? I've seen them having dinner with Jing Tian before. After all, Yuan Technology is located in our industrial park."

"It seems the news wasn't lying; the two of them really are the founders of Far East High Technology and have made tremendous contributions to the company."

"Do you think they're having an affair? When I looked at them talking, the way they looked at each other had a suggestive air about them."

"Who knows? Besides, even if they're having an affair, what business is it of ours? Do you think you can win Gao Yuanyuan's heart? Or is she more likely to win Lu Zhiyuan's?"

"Too!"

People treat celebrity scandals as entertainment.

Anyway, in this circle, it's either you sleeping with him or him sleeping with you... Gao Yuanyuan is the kind of person who is frequently exposed as a mistress.

As for Lu Zhiyuan...

What's wrong with a legendary director and a brilliant talent who will be remembered in history sleeping with a few actresses?
Those female celebrities are incredibly blessed to be qualified to serve our Brother Yuan!
……

Lu Zhiyuan casually ordered a few home-style dishes, and Gao Yuanyuan ate with him.

"Little Gao, why aren't you eating?"

However, Gao Yuanyuan only ate with him in name only; she didn't touch her own chopsticks at all.

"Honey, you look so handsome eating. I want to cook for you every day and watch you eat my food. That would be the happiest day in the world."

Gao Yuanyuan rested her chin on her hands, staring at Lu Zhiyuan with her big eyes and a dreamy smile.

This poison is really potent.

This has really worn Gao Yuanyuan out.

Lu Zhiyuan muttered to himself, wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm full. Thank you for the treat. See you next time."

Seeing Lu Zhiyuan get up to leave, Gao Yuanyuan stood up and asked hesitantly, "Honey, is our relationship officially established?"

what relationship?
What are you thinking?
"I will not divorce Dilraba."

Lu Zhiyuan felt that he had made himself clear.

But Gao Yuanyuan nodded seriously: "I know. I just hope you don't object to me being by your side. I don't ask for anything else."

You're insane!
You have a net worth of over a billion US dollars, why do you insist on becoming my mistress?

What are you after?
"Xiao Gao, I'm leaving for Tokyo in a couple of days."

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to be a mistress, but Lu Zhiyuan made her understand how terrible rumors can be... Public opinion is a fearsome thing, and not everyone can withstand it!
"Then I'll prepare properly."

However, in Gao Yuanyuan's view, Lu Zhiyuan telling her these things was an implication that they should go to Tokyo together and live happily ever after.

Look at Tokyo Tower.

Watching the cherry blossoms fall to the ground.

No, there are no cherry blossoms left in September. So let's take his sleeve and walk with him in the rain. That would be romantic too.

In short, everything is wonderful, as long as I'm by Lu Zhiyuan's side.

……

Because of Gao Yuanyuan's outburst, Lu Zhiyuan completely lost his mood that afternoon.

He simply went home, rested for half a day, and sorted out his feelings.

He will set off for Tokyo early tomorrow morning to scout out filming locations and discuss the filming process with the people from Toho.

Godzilla is a Hollywood blockbuster.

Besides YD Pictures, the investment companies also included Toho Pictures, Universal Pictures, and even some European film companies.

There will be many partners.

To avoid box office failure, blockbuster movies typically attract multiple investors to share the risk.

Lu Zhiyuan's movie will most likely have no problem with box office performance.

So, the reason these partners are appearing together is to work together to push the film's box office as high as possible.

"Honey, you're home so early?"

Reba was taking a nap upstairs when she heard the noise. She came downstairs to take a look and found that Lu Zhiyuan had returned early.

Didn't he go out and fool around with Gao Yuanyuan?

that's nice!

Thinking about this, Reba felt a little happy.

It seems I am still more charming.

"Come back and check to see if anything is missing, so we don't suddenly discover something tomorrow morning and have to look for it at the last minute."

Lu Zhiyuan explained a few words, then went up and hugged Reba, giving her a light kiss on the forehead.

But at that moment, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly heard a very familiar mechanical turning sound.

coming!

The lottery draw is about to begin!
I wonder what kind of talent I'll be able to unleash this time?
Whatever your talent may be, never let it become something like a "human aphrodisiac."

This thing is really a rip-off.

After a few of Jing Tian's movies flopped, Lu Zhiyuan finally calmed down and stopped being so obsessed with him.

Who knew that Gao Yuanyuan would become an overnight sensation?

The more popular a female celebrity is, the stronger her obsession with him becomes.

Currently, Dilraba's obsession with him is the strongest, followed by Gao Yuanyuan.

After years of observation, Lu Zhiyuan also discovered a pattern: once a female celebrity becomes a world-class star, her obsession with him becomes almost impossible to shake.

Oops!

Forget about Hanikezi!

She is also a world-class female star!

No wonder that brat has been looking at me strangely lately.

……

"Reba, I'm going to stay in the studio for a while."

Lu Zhiyuan made an excuse and hurriedly went up to the 3rd floor, where he enjoyed the awards ceremony all by himself!

“I knew it; he still had some conscience. Even though he had an affair, he still knew to come home. After coming home, he was not only gentle and considerate to me, but also felt somewhat indebted to me.”

When Reba saw Lu Zhiyuan hurriedly go upstairs, she thought he was feeling guilty.

Before Lu Zhiyuan returned, Gao Yuanyuan had already sent her a message, calling her "sister" repeatedly and saying that they should get along well and protect Lu Zhiyuan together, preventing any third party from interfering!
Dilraba felt somewhat helpless, but since things had come to this point, she could only accept reality.

……

Inside the art studio on the 3rd floor.

Lu Zhiyuan locked the door and found a place to sit down.

Soon after, like an old-fashioned pendulum clock, the pendulum swung back and forth. At a certain point, suddenly, the gears clicked.

Then, the clear sound of bells rang out.

Lu Zhiyuan began to listen to the system's beautiful broadcast.

—[He was born in Chicago in 1952. He was a highly influential and innovative director.]

—[His most famous works include the Back to the Future series, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump, and Cast Away.]

—[He won the Academy Award for Best Director in 1995 for "Forrest Gump"!]

……

—[He is hailed as a magician of film technology. In "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" (1988), he pioneered the seamless interaction between live-action actors and hand-drawn animation, breaking down the barriers between the two dimensions and is widely recognized as a "milestone in the history of film technology!"]

—[He is a master of balancing commerce and art. He moves effortlessly across genres including science fiction (Back to the Future), fantasy (A Christmas Carol), drama (Forrest Gump), and adventure (The Walk), making him a true all-rounder!]

……

—[He is a leading figure in the industry, making significant contributions to education. In 2001, the University of Southern California established the Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, named after him, becoming the first digital technology film education base in the United States!]

……

—[His cinematic language is full of suggestive language and fluid narrative. He skillfully uses visual symbols to convey profound meanings, such as the feathers at the beginning and end of *Forrest Gump*, symbolizing the capriciousness of fate. In *Where the Heart Is*, the blue ribbon serves as a memory catalyst for Alzheimer's patients, conveying emotions in place of dialogue.]

……

—【He is Robert Zemeckis, the time-alchemist of the directing world!】

……

Robert Zemeckis!
This name is very unfamiliar to most people.

However, almost everyone has heard of the movie "Forrest Gump".

Robert Zemeckis is the director of "Forrest Gump".

In fact, as early as 1985, he caused a sensation around the world with the Back to the Future trilogy, a science fiction series full of childlike innocence!

The movie "Forrest Gump" cemented his place in history!

……

The Real Steel trilogy grossed a total of $36 billion, plus $5 million from Upgrade and nearly $7.5 million from Art Student.

Lu Zhiyuan's five films grossed a total of $48.5 billion at the box office!

The box office success of the film "Art Students" helped Lu Zhiyuan surpass several competitors.

He even surpassed Peter Jackson.

As of September 2013, Peter Jackson's total box office earnings from all his films amounted to approximately $46.5 billion!
It ranks 3rd in film history!
At this very moment, before The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was released... Lu Zhiyuan, thanks to the box office explosion of the film Art Students, officially surpassed Peter Jackson!
Temporarily, it has entered the top 3 in history!

Above him are only James Cameron and Steven Spielberg!

Third in history!

Although Peter Jackson will dethrone him again after The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is released.

But at least at this moment, he is third in history!
"No wonder James Cameron spoke up for me after 'Gravity' was released..."

The second-best person in history will naturally speak up for the third-best.

If the third-best in history is already this amazing, then James Cameron, the second-best in history, standing atop Lu Zhiyuan's head, is naturally even more admired.

His praise of Lu Zhiyuan is tantamount to praising himself!
……

— [Congratulations! You've accomplished an impossible challenge. Your film, *Art Student*, which you directed and starred in, features highly personal lighting effects and a frenetic performance, and has become a global sensation. It's considered a masterpiece of self-directed and self-acted cinematography! It's also a unique work in the history of film.]

— [Congratulations on taking the top spot at the global box office in August 2013, breaking the all-time box office record for art-house films previously held by Forrest Gump, and proving your versatility!]

—[Reward awarded: S-Rank Talent - Robert Zemeckis, Exceptional Lens Metaphor!]

This is Lu Zhiyuan's 7th S-level talent.

However, with his box office success constantly breaking records, he has now reached the top 3 in history.

Those once-renowned directors in film history.

The talents they displayed may not be suitable for Lu Zhiyuan; at most, they can only be used by Lu Zhiyuan for reference and learning.

Because Lu Zhiyuan has found his own unique path!
A visually distinctive style!
He has transformed from an ordinary learner into a grandmaster-level super expert, and is creating his own unique artistic path!
