The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 313: Godzilla Sweeps the World! "Mojin: The Lost Legend" Will Be the First Film to Adopt Chinese Art Style!

……

I saw the meeting place that Jing Tian sent me.

"They actually chose this place?"

Dilraba was taken aback for a moment, feeling somewhat puzzled.

However, she eventually went to the agreed-upon location as instructed.

Unexpectedly, Jing Tian is really here!
"Sister Tian Tian, ​​do you come to this store often?"

This shop is right at the entrance of their residential area. It's a very inconspicuous coffee shop that doesn't usually have much business, and the decor is quite ordinary.

Dilraba was a little puzzled. She had tried a cup of coffee there once, and it tasted awful... No wonder no one came!

How could a young lady like Jing Tian lower herself to meet her in a place of such low quality?
This whole affair reeks of conspiracy from beginning to end!

"We're closed today, not open for business."

Upon seeing Reba arrive, Jing Tian casually gave her an order.

"Yes, Miss Jing!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately flipped the sign at the door to show "Closed" and then locked the door.

And, very thoughtfully, the curtains were drawn.

Meanwhile, the waiter served Jing Tian and Reba two cups of coffee and some snacks before tactfully leaving.

"Sister Tian Tian, ​​is this shop yours?"

At this moment, Dilraba seemed to have guessed something and was speechless for a moment.

Because this store is located right at the entrance of their residential community.

The store's business is so bad that the employees have nothing to do all day but stare blankly at the entrance of their residential area, acting like spies.

She had always found it strange, and today she finally knew the truth.

"It's not mine."

“I know what you’re thinking, but I really don’t need to do this.”

"Even the property management company in your community belongs to me. If I want to know what's going on in your family, do I need to send someone to keep an eye on things?"

Jing Tian shook her head calmly.

Seeing that Reba seemed unconvinced, she took a sip of her coffee and revealed the truth: "I only own a small share. I'm the owner of this shop. This isn't my main job. I opened a coffee shop mainly to pass the time and to prevent my family from gossiping that I'm just lazing around at home doing nothing all day."

understood!

She's similar to Liu Yifei's best friend, Lisa.

He's just a rich kid who does nothing!

"Sister Tian Tian, ​​let's talk about serious matters."

Dilraba glanced at her watch, calculated the time, and said, "I only have half an hour. In half an hour, I have to go home to pick up my husband."

"Half an hour is enough."

Jing Tian nodded, then took two documents from her bag and pushed them over.

"These two documents are, one is the equity transfer agreement for 20% of New Classics Media, and the other is the equity transfer agreement for 5% of DJI drones!"

"Choose one and sign it!"

Both of these equity transfer agreements are worth approximately US$5 million!
Jing Tian keeps her word!

What Gao Yuanyuan can give to Dilraba, she can give too!

Just for a promise!
"Sister Tian Tian, ​​I was just joking with you before. Besides, if I accept your things, my husband will scold me."

Dilraba isn't stupid!
She could accept Gao Yuanyuan into the family because she was confident that Gao Yuanyuan had no chance of making a comeback.

Moreover, Gao Yuanyuan has a gentle personality and won't argue with her.

Jing Tian is different!
If I let Jing Tian into the house, she'll definitely find a chance to kill me!
At this moment, no matter how much Jing Tian threatened or bribed her, Reba simply refused to sign.

Jing Tian was not surprised.

She said calmly, "Reba, you know him. From a certain perspective, as a friend, he is definitely a very reliable person, someone you can entrust your family to. He is truly a man of great loyalty and integrity!"

"However, he's not so particular about his own feelings! To be precise, this guy is even a very cold-blooded person!"

"In a relationship, he doesn't care at all whether the other person loves him or not!"

"He believes in a very sophisticated set of principles of exchange of benefits."

"For him, it's not enough for a woman to be beautiful; she must be someone of great value to him."

"For example, he was with me in the first place because I was rich, and I could provide him with resources to make movies!"

"Later, the main reason he chose to be with you, besides the problems on my side, was that you were well-behaved and cute, and you were willing to retire from the entertainment industry to take care of him, marry him, and have children."

"After he achieves success, he will need someone to take care of him. Otherwise, he will be successful in his career but lack the company of his family. Over time, he will become lonely. At that time, he will become like Brother Kun, but he doesn't like that kind of prodigal life!"

Jing Tian truly understands Lu Zhiyuan well!
In just a few words, she dissected Lu Zhiyuan's true character completely.

He is a very loyal person!

As a friend and as a business partner, he is impeccable.

However, dating him is really tough!

Lu Zhiyuan treats love like a business...

If he discovers that the return on this relationship is not high enough, or even that there is a negative profit, he will immediately and coldly end it all!
The decisiveness was chilling!
It was as if he had never loved her at all.

He will seamlessly choose the next potential romantic partner with higher value and start the next relationship directly!
For most men, love and career are probably two separate paths.

Love requires sincerity.

However, one can stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

However, for Lu Zhiyuan, love is also part of his career!

These things can be traded and measured by specific value... The idea that love is priceless is just fooling children.

It's a complete joke to him!

Jing Tian had only seen similar cold-bloodedness in her father's generation.

This cold-blooded and calm quality of a successful man, and his rationality that is not swayed by emotions, are fully embodied in Lu Zhiyuan!
No wonder his uncle admires Lu Zhiyuan so much!

Essentially, they are all the same kind of people!

Of course, Lu Zhiyuan is much more respectable than Bona's boss, Yu Dong.

At least, Lu Zhiyuan didn't do something like this: his wife was pregnant and waiting to give birth at home, while he walked down the aisle with another woman, causing his wife to lose face completely!
When he was with Jing Tian, ​​he made her enjoy endless flowers and applause, making her a princess that everyone envied.

Furthermore, the classic role he created for Jing Tian, ​​"Miss T," is still unforgettable to this day.

Many people are waiting for "Real Steel 4", which will take T's perspective and start humanity's journey through space!

Not to mention the audience, even Jing Tian herself is very much looking forward to it.

If she could become the female lead in "Real Steel 4", she would definitely love Lu Zhiyuan to death, and she would pretend not to know even if Lu Zhiyuan had 10 girlfriends outside!
When Lu Zhiyuan was with Reba, he elevated her to the status of the first leading lady in film history, making her the pride of the Uyghur people and the world-famous Alita.

Not to mention female celebrities who have to curry favor with Dilraba, even CEO Wang from Huayi Brothers and CEO Cao from New Classics Media have to curry favor with her.

Dilraba is a force to be reckoned with in the industry... Is it because of her good acting skills and high box office returns?
What a joke!
Without Lu Zhiyuan, who would care who Reba is?
There are so many beautiful Uyghur female celebrities!
There are many talented young girls who can sing and dance in the art academy.

Are Nazha and Hanikezi not pretty? Are they bad at dancing?

Dilraba is a lucky girl, envied by countless people!
However, no one was jealous of Lu Zhiyuan... because directing really requires talent and ability!
No matter how many resources you give them, they just won't make it work!
As for Gao Yuanyuan...

Without Lu Zhiyuan, she wouldn't have such a high net worth now, nor would she have become the sensational CEO in the tech world.

She could never have become the female lead in the highest-grossing art film in history, "Art Students"!
In short, Lu Zhiyuan used the same business strategies to manage his love life, and from an outsider's perspective, this behavior makes him an absolute scumbag!

Hypocritical, selfish, pretentious, disgusting!
However, every woman who had ever dated him received enormous benefits and gained immense emotional value!
In fact, once she leaves him, she immediately feels like she has fallen from the clouds and lost all the love and affection.

The contrast between before and after is just too great!
Even now, Jing Tian still hasn't recovered!

Of course, Lu Zhiyuan himself did not lose anything in the process, and he also gained a lot of benefits!
He always prefers win-win situations!
Only a win-win situation can ensure that cooperation continues in the long term!

"Sister Tian, ​​since you think my husband is a complete bastard and a scumbag, why don't you just let me be the only one who gets fooled by him?"

“I don’t mind that he uses this cold-blooded business philosophy to manage our love.”

Dilraba didn't care what kind of person Lu Zhiyuan was.

She had never met a better man than Lu Zhiyuan.

No one is perfect.
My own man, facing so many temptations outside, with his friends who fool around with other women every day, and with vixens like Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Tianai at the company... he can resist the temptations and come home every day.

What else is there for me to gain?
As long as Lu Zhiyuan comes home and washes himself before going home... Dilraba doesn't care about anything else!
Because, since ancient times, talented men have always been romantic!
Modigliani, always out gallivanting... Has Hybna said anything?

In the end, wasn't it all because of Modigliani that he jumped off the building!

"You're really driving me crazy! I've been talking to you for ages, and you haven't listened to a single word!"

Jing Tian sighed, rubbing her forehead, somewhat speechless.

After a while, she realized that Dilraba really couldn't listen to a single word, and it didn't seem like she was faking it. In the end, she had no choice but to tell her the truth.

"Reba, what I'm trying to say is that he uses this business mindset to manage his love life... so he doesn't mind having a few more businesses!"

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that it doesn't interfere with his main job!"

“Before, my main job was me, so whether he flirted with you or teased Gao Yuanyuan, it was just some spice in his boring life. He was very good at distinguishing between what was important and what was not!”

"Therefore, no matter how much you seduce him before I agree, he won't waver!"

Jing Tian also spent a lot of time figuring things out on her own before she finally understood everything.

She then realized that she had never known Lu Zhiyuan at all!
After discovering all this, she felt like she had found a walkthrough for a game and was eager to try it out!
Seeing Reba fall silent, Jing Tian said with a smile, "And right now, his main focus is you. As long as you don't agree, no matter how other women seduce him, it won't work!"

"He wouldn't do anything to harm your main business. Unless, your main business fails to meet his expectations!"
What are the expectations?
Dilraba felt that she was simply the best wife in the world!

Pretty and cute, gentle and considerate, with particularly big eyes... Most importantly, she's a dance student, and Lu Zhiyuan's favorite!
"Do you really want me to tell you?"

Jing Tian smiled, feeling particularly vicious at that moment, but there was nothing she could do. To win back Lu Zhiyuan, she was willing to pay any price!
At that moment, she lowered her voice and said, "For example... you can't have children!"

puff!
That cut really hurt!
Dilraba was almost furious, and even wanted to smash the coffee cup in her hand on Jing Tian's head to let Jing Tian experience what it meant to have her head blown off!
"It's perfectly normal for Reba to be unable to have children."

Jing Tian didn't come here to fight Reba to the death. After stabbing her, she started comforting Reba.

"In our country, approximately 10% of women are infertile throughout their lives. There are roughly 6.9 million women in our country, which means that there are about 7000 million women in our country who have no children!"

Jing Tian gave a very specific figure.

This data is absolutely astonishing!
7000 million women unable to have children?
Oh my God!

Could it be that I'm so unlucky that I've become one of the 7000 million people?
No!
I want to have four more children!

Dilraba wanted to go home and try again, feeling that she couldn't possibly be that unlucky!

Seeing that Reba remained silent, clearly disheartened by her own words, Jing Tian continued, "Reba, I have a good idea about this."

"First of all, I'm sure I can give birth."

"Secondly, I can make a small sacrifice, allowing my genes to combine with his to form a fetus, which will then be placed in your womb."

"In this way, the child is yours to give birth to, but it carries my genes!"

"At that time, you will be the child's biological mother, after all, you carried her for ten months and gave birth to her. However, the child has my genes, I am the child's genetic mother."

"All the property I own now can be given to our children."

"At that time, you will be the child's biological mother, and I will be the child's godmother. How wonderful it would be if the child could receive both of our love as they grow up?"

What do you think of my idea?

Jing Tian revealed an unbelievable plan.

Dilraba was absolutely stunned.

She felt that her IQ was not enough.

Is it still possible to do it this way?
Moreover, Jing Tian and Lu Zhiyuan could have a child without even having an intimate relationship.

Then, the child was born from her own womb.

Even if they don't look alike, they can say it's because the child looks like the father!

No one can say that a child isn't their own... Come on, they're all born from their own womb after ten months of pregnancy, who dares to say they're not their own?

However, she felt that after all this, she had become Jing Tian's power leveler.
"Dilraba, whether it's love or having children, we can treat it as a career that we should strive to achieve throughout our lives."

"Since it's a career, let's do it like a career!"

"The two of us are essentially two large corporations, and we've both set our sights on a project that's still in its early stages. We want to work hard to make it a success!"

"We are very optimistic about this project; it will surely become the best business in the world in the future!"

"Since competing with each other would be a huge waste of resources for both of us, and not worth the effort, why don't we join forces to incubate this project and strive to make it bigger and stronger?"

"what do you think?"

From a business perspective, joining forces with a strong figure like Jing Tian will undoubtedly ensure the smooth incubation of this project.

However, Dilraba felt that this matter was so awkward.
"Reba, think it over carefully!"

"With me as their godmother, the child's future will be smooth sailing. And for that bastard, with me as his child's godmother, many obstacles in his career will be easily overcome."

"Actually, I don't like talking about our private lives in the media either. I promise you, this is the last time."

"Let's continue being best friends! The child's biological mother!"

The last sentence, "The child's biological mother," made Dilraba feel Jing Tian's sincerity!

So, she wasn't there to steal her husband!
She's here to take her son away!
Really impressed!
This crazy woman!
They actually came up with such a crooked idea!

"Alright, Reba, we'll be there in about half an hour. Go back and take care of your husband. Otherwise, he'll probably call you."

After Jing Tian finished explaining her plan, she felt completely relaxed.

She knew that Reba Dao's heart was in turmoil!

"Some people cling to kingdoms, to gods, to love, but all of this is fantasy. Only the ladder is real. Climbing is the whole of life."

"Chaos is the ladder to ascent!"

Seeing Dilraba's hurried departure, Jing Tian murmured a classic line from "Game of Thrones".

If Dilraba and Lu Zhiyuan just eat, sleep, have children, make movies, and show affection every day without any problems... when will she be able to win the man back?
We have to put some pressure on Dilraba!
Even if there's no pressure, create pressure for Dilraba!
……

"no!"

"I have to rely on my own efforts!"

"I absolutely must not choose the Plan B that Sister Tian Tian gave me unless it's a last resort!"

Reba went back with a heavy heart.

It has to be said that Jing Tian's Plan B did indeed tempt her a little.

Moreover, to prove his sincerity, Jing Tian directly gave her company shares worth 5 million US dollars!

Just as sincere as Gao Yuanyuan!

The amount of this deposit is indeed substantial!

For a moment, Dilraba's mind was in complete chaos!
……

Go home.

Lu Zhiyuan, Gao Yuanyuan, Xin Yukun, Wang Baoqiang, Su Lun and Guo Fan, and Zhang Ruonan, the female lead of "Godzilla: Monarch"!
They had been waiting at home for a long time.

"Reba, where have you been? Why are you only just getting back?"

When Lu Zhiyuan saw Reba return from outside looking preoccupied, he found it strange and went up to ask her a few questions.

“A friend was passing by and asked me to go out and sit for a while.”

Dilraba gave a brief explanation.

She knew that Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't ask any more questions about such trivial matters.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan trusted her completely and wasn't afraid that she would go out and date other men.

nonsense!

If she dared to do such a thing, Gao Yuanyuan would probably laugh herself silly.

The first person to report her was...

Jing Tian is ecstatic; she'll probably throw a three-day feast to celebrate!
Naza, Hanikezi, and Zhang Tianai may turn against her overnight, with countless people waiting to report her.

According to Jing Tian, ​​Lu Zhiyuan is her main job!

Without Lu Zhiyuan, she lost not only love, but everything.

Her career, friends, girlfriends, business partners, and endorsement contracts will all leave her!

At that moment, Dilraba realized that Lu Zhiyuan was everything to her!
"It's very hot outside, go take a shower, you're covered in sweat." Lu Zhiyuan was still the same as before, speaking gently and considerately.

This put Dilraba at ease.

Jing Tian's antics had almost made her forget that she was the rightful wife! Thinking this, Reba grinned at Lu Zhiyuan, "Honey, you've worked hard. How about I give you a shoulder massage and a leg rub tonight?"

"Of course."

Lu Zhiyuan wiped a bead of sweat from Reba's forehead with his hand and smiled gently: "Go ahead, dinner will be served in half an hour. We'll be waiting for you!"

Dilraba smiled, turned around and went upstairs.

……

After Reba went upstairs.

Lu Zhiyuan returned to the living room.

"Let's continue our previous topic!"

Xin Yukun took out his phone and pulled up some media review reports: "Ladies and gentlemen, the reviews for 'Godzilla: Monarch' are starting to come out one after another. Let me read to you the reviews of our film from major media outlets around the world!"

At this moment, everyone perked up their ears.

They were all key members of the film's creative team.

Even Gao Yuanyuan is the Chinese producer of this film!

If this movie wins an award, she'll definitely be qualified to walk the Hollywood red carpet!

Even without Dilraba, she can walk the red carpet with Lu Zhiyuan!
Zhang Ruonan is the female lead, so let her accompany Tom Hiddleston, the male lead.

"Let's take a look at our old friend, The Guardian from the UK. Wow, as expected of our old friend, it gave us a 5-star review right away!"

"Have vision!"

"Let me take a closer look. This is how The Guardian described it: grand, exciting, and satisfying—an outstanding monster movie!"

The Guardian made no mention of the Sellafield nuclear power plant.

Because this matter has caused a huge uproar in the UK!
Many people want to know what the situation is with the Sellafield nuclear power plant.
Many old grievances have been brought up!

When people learned that the British government was prepared to spend £2000 billion to deal with the nuclear leak at Sellafield nuclear power station... the whole of Britain was in an uproar!
Some people are shouting that £2000 billion would be better spent outsourcing the cleanup work to Dr. Li and letting him train a MUTO!
In short, the British people are very dissatisfied with the British government's inaction!

Moreover, with a total of £2000 billion, I wonder how much Commissioner Smith will take? He'll probably take at least £1800 billion!

"Next up is another old friend of ours, The Hollywood Reporter."

"They also gave us tremendous praise!"

"Let me see what our old American friends have to say: Godzilla has returned to the big screen in a particularly legendary way. Meanwhile, the human storyline is even more surprising. Dr. Lee offers a completely different perspective on this legend! This is extremely rare and refreshing in monster movies!"

The Hollywood Reporter has always been a fan of Lu Zhiyuan!

Since its inception, The Upgrade has never said anything bad about Lu Zhiyuan, mainly because the newspaper's headquarters are located in Los Angeles.

LeBron James' side has definitely maxed out their publicity budget!

"I knew it, my brother is super handsome!"

"No matter what role my brother plays, he is the kind of person who is unforgettable at first glance! Even when he plays a villain, he is unique and is the most charismatic villain in film history!"

Godzilla: Monarch continues its global conquest, grossing $5 million, $6 million, $7 million...

As box office numbers soared, Zhang Ruonan, the leading actress, also began to gain international recognition.

Although the female lead in this movie wasn't as outstanding as Dilraba Dilmurat in her previous films, she still left behind a few memorable scenes.

Zhang Ruonan, this little angel, has directly risen to the level of an international second-tier actress, similar to Anne Hathaway, who starred in "The Princess Diaries".

It's a hit!

However, it's not that popular!
Because she can't carry the box office, she's essentially a very unique "pretty face" (meaning she's just a pretty face with no substance).

There are many actresses in Hollywood who serve as decorative figures.

Most vases, throughout their lives, are unable to successfully shed the label of "vase."

However, even if she is just a pretty face, in the domestic entertainment industry, she is equivalent to directly reaching the level of the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to top actresses and actresses known for their beauty and talent)!
Because Zhang Ruonan has about 15 minutes of screen time in "Godzilla: Monarch".

And next up is the MonsterVerse film series.

She essentially landed a major role in the series.

This treatment is almost identical to that given to Hanikezi in the "Real Steel" series.

Hanikezi is currently one of the most popular young people in the world!

The situation is similar to that of Emma Watson, who played the female lead in "Harry Potter"!

Now, Zhang Ruonan may become the next Hanikezi!
Wow, wow!

"Empire magazine, did any of us slip some money?"

"Look at the reviews for this magazine, another perfect 5 stars!"

"It's grand in scale, solemn and awe-inspiring, filled with an apocalyptic atmosphere, yet possesses a very unique spiritual power, imbued with a sense of destiny. Most importantly, it incorporates Nolan-esque cross-cutting and non-linear narrative into a science fiction film, making it full of surprises!"

Empire magazine raved about Lu Zhiyuan's version of Godzilla: Monarch!
Regardless of the special effects.

The plot is good too.

The character design is also good.

Most importantly, the post-credits scene at the end of the film filled the entire movie with surprises and anticipation for future developments!

Dr. Li's character did not die!
In what form will he reappear in the next installment?

This is so exciting!

As many viewers already know, Wanda acquired Legendary Pictures and reached an agreement with Universal Pictures to license the "King Kong" IP.

Wanda will collaborate with YD Pictures to develop a monster universe!

Godzilla and King Kong will appear in the same movie!
The two monsters battling it out is already highly anticipated... and among the two super monsters is Dr. Li, who represents the highest intelligence of humankind!
This Dr. Li has proven his methods with facts.

With the body of a mortal, one can command the Titans!

This method and ability is absolutely amazing!

In the next installment, if Dr. Lee is still alive, what kind of plot will unfold when he encounters King Kong and Godzilla?
His plan has succeeded!
Could the hell beasts he raised fight against King Kong and Godzilla?
Even if it doesn't work.

Could Dr. Li obtain the genes of King Kong and Godzilla, and then cultivate an even more awesome species?

In short, the post-credits scene at the end of the movie suddenly brought the entire MonsterVerse to life, instead of the old-fashioned plot of monsters fighting and humans watching the show.

Dr. Li, this high-quality human male, has been promoting one fact from beginning to end.

The times have changed.

This is no longer the prehistoric era; humans are the masters of this planet!
"Finally, our film has a 90% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes in North America!"

"In contrast, our old rival, Michael Bay's 'Transformers 4,' only received a 17% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes in North America!"

17%!

Without a doubt, Transformers 4 was a complete flop in the eyes of North American audiences!

Bad movies can rely on publicity to lure unsuspecting viewers in and kill them once, but it will affect the director's personal reputation and the box office of the next film in the series!
I wonder how much advertising money Transformers 5 will have to spend to cover up the terrible reputation of this movie.

And their monster universe, even without spending a single penny on advertising, only requires the name "Lu Zhiyuan" to be displayed.

With the positive word-of-mouth built up by this film, the next movie is guaranteed to gross at least $5 million!

This is the effect of word of mouth!

The Real Steel series relied on word-of-mouth to continuously boost its box office, until the final installment grossed $16 billion, becoming the number one film of the year!

……

Xin Yukun has already finished reviewing the film in all the major mainstream media and magazines around the world.

Everyone felt very proud!
Major Western magazines have always viewed Chinese films from a condescending and superior perspective.

Especially for commercial films.

After all, Chinese art films still have a bunch of people like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige to carry the show.

But in the realm of commercial films, they really don't have any outstanding ones. Especially those commercial films that can be sold worldwide—aside from those directed by Lu Zhiyuan, there isn't a single one!

Those directors from Hong Kong are practically the last bastion of face and fig leaf for Chinese commercial cinema.

However, in recent years, some commercial films on Hong Kong Island have also been declining.

Lu Zhiyuan, almost in this transitional period, relied on his own strength to carve out a bloody path with one science fiction film after another!
Now, many Hollywood companies are looking to find the next Lu Zhiyuan among Chinese art-house film directors!

The offers they made were all very generous!

This is the story of how one generation plants the trees so that another can enjoy the shade!

But if the predecessors mess things up and accidentally cut down the trees, then the descendants can only suffer from rain and sun, and have to endure all the hardships of all the pioneers!

From this perspective, directors of both art-house and commercial films should thank Lu Zhiyuan, who single-handedly expanded the market.

It has given the world a completely new understanding of the aesthetics of Chinese directors.

Even during the filming of the Real Steel series, or Godzilla: Monarch, the same thing happened.

In these films, Lu Zhiyuan captured many of China's mountains and rivers, showcasing magnificent scenery that deeply impressed audiences worldwide.

The natural scenic areas in Northwest and Southwest China are absolutely stunning!
That kind of beauty cannot be simply described in words.

Even the world's most famous paintings cannot capture the essence of these scenic spots!

Nature is truly a marvel of craftsmanship, leaving us in awe.

……

"Brothers and sisters, let's raise a glass to Brother Yuan!"

"If it weren't for Brother Yuan leading us to the world stage and witnessing great things, we would all be somewhere else, except for Boss Gao."

Because Xin Yukun frequented nightclubs to have fun, he learned the tricks of creating a lively atmosphere and would often start a commotion.

However, he had been praising everyone for a long time, making everyone's hearts surge with excitement.

Moreover, the box office figures are real!

If the box office is high, everyone present will get a share of the money!
Lu Zhiyuan has always been very generous in this regard!
"Don't drink yet."

Lu Zhiyuan gave Gao Yuanyuan a look.

Gao Yuanyuan quickly took out two documents from her bag, handed them to Su Lun and Guo Fan, and said with a smile, "Sign here. You two shareholders!"

what?
shareholder?

Su Lun and Guo Fan have been splitting the profits based on projects so far!

However, Lu Zhiyuan made a fortune from every project, earning at least double his initial investment.

The "Art Students" project, in particular, earned more than five times its initial investment!
They received a considerable amount of money.

However, becoming a shareholder of Yuankun Media means more than just money; it also means having more say in the company and a higher status in the industry!
"Thank you both for your contributions to the company over the years! In my personal capacity, I would like to gift each of you 2% of the shares!"

"I hope you two will continue your efforts and work together with me to make the company bigger and stronger!"

Seeing the surprise on their faces, Lu Zhiyuan smiled and handed them over the two equity transfer agreements.

In fact, he had decided to give these two shares a long time ago.

However, at that time, the company didn't have much money in its accounts, so giving out shares wouldn't have yielded much profit.

Now, with the payments from "Art Students" almost all in place, the company has at least $5 million in its accounts!
He plans to distribute dividends according to the shares!
The tax rate on stock dividends is significantly lower than the tax rate on project bonuses.

"Brother Yuan, please don't regret this. I've signed it. I'm serious... If you want to back out, it's not too late."

Su Lun had previously heard Xin Yukun make grand promises to her, including that he would definitely give her company shares.

However, although she was excited when she heard it, she quickly forgot about it. This was because Lu Zhiyuan had also given her a substantial project bonus.

She didn't care whether Lu Zhiyuan gave her the company shares or not, something as important as company shares.

Anyway, she has so much money she can't spend it all!
As long as she works with Lu Zhiyuan, she's guaranteed a minimum income of $500 million USD per year... Honestly, that's more than many A-list celebrities!

Moreover, the risk is very low!
The pressure is almost entirely Lu Zhiyuan's responsibility!
Although she told Lu Zhiyuan not to regret it, she was actually expressing that she couldn't believe it was all true!

At this moment, Su Lun was moved to tears.

After she finished signing, she ran over, hugged Lu Zhiyuan, and shouted, "Brother Yuan, let me kiss you!"

Lu Zhiyuan kept pushing her away, laughing as he said, "I've always considered you a good brother, I'm not gay!"

Su Lun has short hair and often dresses in a neutral style.

When Lu Zhiyuan was making the movie, he treated her like a mule, showing her no mercy whatsoever.

Hearing this, Su Lun was speechless and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Yuan, you're good in every way. If you were mute, you would be even more perfect."

On the other side, Guo Fan readily signed the document.

He thought for a moment and said, "Brother Yuan, for the pre-production of the movie 'Mojin: The Lost Legend,' I followed your suggestion and tried to reference the style of contemporary Chinese artist Lü Shengzhong as much as possible, and made a lot of prop models!"

"When you have time, you can go and take a look yourself. I'm a little unsure if this is the effect you're looking for."

Guo Fan is absolutely a master when it comes to making props and models!
After all, over the years, he has trampled on at least hundreds of millions of dollars worth of props and models!
Even a fool would learn from experience.

Moreover, Guo Fan is a very meticulous person who is also very good at summarizing.

"As long as you make good use of the Chinese red and the paper-cutting art to create a sense of life cycle and inescapable destiny, there shouldn't be any major problems with Mr. Lü Shengzhong's style."

For the movie "Mojin: The Lost Legend", Lu Zhiyuan is preparing to break through his own limitations and try to use the style of Chinese artists for the first time!
The main reason is that this theme of reincarnation and destiny is very compatible with the style of Chinese folk artists!
This sense of mystery and ritual resonated deeply with Lu Zhiyuan!

of course!

In order to make a box office success in Europe and America, he would incorporate the style of a European or American artist!
If we reduce the feel of Chinese horror films a bit and incorporate some expressionist techniques... at least it will look more normal.

It's not a pure horror movie!

Otherwise, it might not pass the domestic review!

"Oh, right, Xiao Su!"

“It’s late July now, and filming for Mojin: The Lost Legend will probably start at the end of October, which means you have three months.”

“I have a TV series project here. I just had Brother Kun buy the rights to the novel, ‘The Best of Us’ by August Chang’an. It’s a campus youth drama.”

"This is a gift I prepared especially for Xiaonan. You should work with New Classics Media to set up the framework. When our movie is in post-production around March or April next year, you can take some time to film it."

Zhang Ruonan's acting skills are still a bit lacking!
The following year, Lu Zhiyuan was to film "Mojin: The Lost Legend".

There isn't a role in this movie that's particularly suitable for Zhang Ruonan!

To help Zhang Ruonan hone her skills and improve her acting abilities and on-set experience, Lu Zhiyuan specially prepared a TV series for her.

What suits her age is, of course, a school drama!
Especially the Zhenhua Trilogy!

If Tan Songyun can play the role in "The Best of Us", then Zhang Ruonan is definitely a good fit!
After all, Zhang Ruonan is much cuter than Tan Songyun!
"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, I'll take care of it!"

The collaborations with New Classics Media are mostly for TV dramas. Lu Zhiyuan never gets involved personally; he usually leaves the operations to Su Lun.

As the third largest shareholder of New Classics Media, Lu Zhiyuan also delegated all his voting rights to Su Lun.

For Su Lun, the pressure of making movies is indeed quite high.

The main problem is that directors of her caliber are everywhere; there's nothing special about them.

Whether a movie becomes a hit depends entirely on luck.

It's easy for one movie to become a hit, and another to flop.

Their performance is extremely inconsistent!
However, putting aside the plot of Lu Zhiyuan's films, he truly mastered the core competitiveness of filmmaking... visuals and special effects!

In this regard, Lu Zhiyuan is a top master in the world!

As for the plot... that's Kun Ge's specialty!

These two are the company's greatest core competitiveness!

She and Guo Fan each took turns: one helped coach the actors' acting skills, arranged their blocking on set, and did other odd jobs. The other helped Lu Zhiyuan with props and shooting miniature models!
He can be described as Lu Zhiyuan's right-hand man!

Of course, Guo Fan's skill level is much higher than hers, a fact that Su Lun has to admit.

However, she joined the company relatively early and climbed Mount Mustag with Lu Zhiyuan, which almost caused her to go through menopause due to his exhaustion!
Therefore, Lu Zhiyuan always remembered her contribution and directly gave her a seat on the board of directors of New Classics Media!
Besides working at Yuankun Media, Su Lun also holds the official title of Senior Vice President of New Classics Media.
When it comes to rewarding merit, Lu Zhiyuan is absolutely impeccable!
"Alright, Dilraba's down here, let's eat!"

After finishing discussing serious matters, Lu Zhiyuan announced that dinner would officially begin.

Those present were all old friends of Lu Zhiyuan, and they never stood on ceremony with him.

Moreover, apart from being quite serious at work, Lu Zhiyuan is a very easygoing person at other times.

"Brother Yuan, have some soup. It's been made with lots of rejuvenating herbs!"

"Reba specially brought these from her hometown; they're sure to be very effective!"

After finishing their serious work, everyone reverted to their playful selves, urging Lu Zhiyuan to wait until after dinner and to focus on having soup first!
Drinking soup and having a baby are the most important things!
Otherwise, who will inherit the empire that so many of them built together?
"Don't worry, I'll definitely have you help me take care of my child within two years! At that time, everyone will take turns coming to my house to change diapers!"

"Anyone who dares to skip out will have their year-end bonus deducted!"

Lu Zhiyuan was absolutely certain that he could have children!
If "The Great Wall" is filmed well and this ultimate challenge is completed, and the biggest stain on Zhang Yimou's career is washed away, he will reveal Zhang Yimou's most amazing ability as a man!

S-level breeding ability!
Guaranteed to have at least 4 children!
If he were more capable, he could father seven children, thus completing the challenge of being the father of the Calabash Brothers!

However, how can "The Great Wall" avoid becoming a flop while also receiving positive reviews? And how can it be considered a good movie by both Chinese audiences and audiences around the world?
This level of difficulty is definitely SSS level!

Most people wouldn't dare to attempt this project; they'd just laugh at it!
