The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 367 "The Third Kind of Love" Sister Niu has failed again! She can only wait for Brother Yuan to save her!
……

The premiere of the movie "Your Wedding" was truly unique.

This greatly surprised the audience!
As for the female lead, Yang Mi, nobody expected her to pull off any amazing feats. Because she's an actress without any particular talent.

His acting skills were also mediocre.

He became a popular celebrity entirely because of his scandals and his slightly suggestive physique, which generated a lot of memes for him.

Jing Tian really knows how to have fun.

"The Second Generation of Fish Leong," a poignant love song, brought a huge surprise to everyone.

Unfortunately, the lighting in the movie theater was too dim, so the audience couldn't see Lu Zhiyuan's facial expression or judge his inner thoughts from it.

But if you put yourself in Lu Zhiyuan's shoes, most viewers think they would be pretty happy right now.

After all, who wouldn't be happy to be remembered by a beautiful woman like Jing Tian?

Jing Tian finished her song, and the entire audience cheered.

Someone even shouted, "One more song!"

Jing Tian, ​​the second generation of Fish Leong, has won everyone's recognition for her talent, which makes her very happy.

As for being dumped by Lu Zhiyuan... well, she's back now, so she doesn't really hate Lu Zhiyuan anymore, she only hates Dilraba.

I treated her like a best friend, but she stole my man and is now guarding against me, not allowing me to come back?

That was absolutely brilliant!
You little brat, just you wait. One day, I'll snatch that certificate from you too!
"thank you all."

The cheers from the entire audience were directed at Jing Tian, ​​making her very happy.

She handed the microphone to Yang Mi next to her, gave her a light hug like a best friend, but said in a cool tone, "Sorry, I stole your thunder."

Yang Mi is Dilraba's younger sister, and from a certain perspective, she is also Jing Tian's opposing force.

"I am honored that Ms. Jing could attend the premiere."

Yang Mi behaved very appropriately. In her heart, she was thinking, what does it have to do with her that Jing Tian and Reba are having a fight?
I am no longer Dilraba's little sister.

I am on equal footing with Dilraba, both of us are shareholders of DAY Entertainment!

"I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll be leaving now."

After singing a theme song, Jing Tian whispered to Lu Zhiyuan, "As for what it is, you know."

Lu Zhiyuan gave Jing Tian an idea: to create an online house-finding website similar to Beike.

Jing Tian has been incredibly busy lately.

Upon hearing about such a lucrative business opportunity, her relatives and friends from her hometown poured money into it, eager to acquire as many shares as possible.

Nowadays, everyone can see that building internet platforms is the trend of the times.

The problem is that they are all nouveau riche who don't understand the internet business model and don't understand technology.

Now things are much better; Lu Zhiyuan is proactively providing the technology.

With the technology, they can maximize their extensive network of connections.

Once they open the door and get in, it will be virtually impossible for anyone else to squeeze in.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Zhiyuan pulled Jing Tian aside and whispered, "Two hundred million US dollars, and I'll give you 20% of Black Hole Vision's shares. However, I don't need the shares in [LT Find House]. Transfer them to Hani."

——【LT Find House】 is the online house-finding website that Jing Tian is preparing to launch.

Lu Zhiyuan originally planned to transfer the $2 million to Hanikezi after Yuankun Media distributed its dividends.

But upon closer reflection, Hanikezi is so young, and with so much money in his hands, he could easily squander it.

There's a good business opportunity right now, but he's not interested in it himself. However, he can consider Hani's $2 million as an investment.

A few years from now, based on Beike's development, the market value of LT Find House will most likely exceed 200 billion US dollars.

The company needs approximately $20 billion in funding.

The return on investment is at least 10 times.

"Of the $2 million, Hani only has $1 million. Don't you know where the other $1 million came from?"

Jing Tian realized that Lu Zhiyuan's favorite was Hanikezi.

Such a good business required her to put in a lot of effort, money, and connections. With just a word from Lu Zhiyuan, he casually transferred his shares to Hanikezi.

The bond between children raised from infancy is just different.

"Then let's convert that $2 million into shares. As for how to divide it, you can discuss it yourselves. After all, although this business has great potential, it's still far from being finalized."

Starting a business is risky.

Lu Zhiyuan wanted to make his point clear first.

The success of Beike does not necessarily mean that Jingtian's side will succeed. Although the direction is correct, the person in charge of the operation has changed, which can easily lead to a butterfly effect.

"No need for that. I'll pay off whatever money Honey owes!"

Dilraba found Yang Mi to be her younger sister, and Jing Tian suddenly realized that she should also find a caring younger sister.

Hanikezi is very good.

Before today, Hanikezi spent all her time hanging around Lu Zhiyuan, and Lu Zhiyuan had no way to win Hanikezi over.

Now, all of Hanikezi's wealth is in LT Find House, which she controls.

From then on, even if Hanikezi didn't completely obey her, he still had to actively try to get closer to her.

Because their interests are deeply intertwined!
If the company goes bankrupt, Hanikezi will lose everything!
"You can watch the movie slowly, I'm going to go chat with Honey for a bit."

Jing Tian had absolutely no interest in the movie "Your Wedding." What a terrible youth film! What regrets? What choice between love and money?

My mother has more bread than she can eat.

There's no need to consider this kind of issue at all.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhiyuan's family couldn't even finish all the bread, and he also possessed talent that everyone in the world admired.

If I could travel back to 2009 and find Lu Zhiyuan before he became successful, I would just go all out, tie him up and take him home, and do whatever I wanted to him.

……

After Jing Tian left, the movie officially began.

As a youth film, "Your Wedding" avoids the typical plot twists of puppy love, abortion, breakup, going abroad, and reunion years later.

The theme of this movie is not so bitter.

It's more like a glass of lemonade with sugar, sweet and sour, and tastes pretty good. But to say it has a lingering aftertaste? Not really.

In short, this is a very simple coming-of-age film.

If Zhang Ruonan were to play the role, it would definitely be excellent.

Because Zhang Ruonan's face is youthful and sweet, and her smile is very healing. Her eyes are round and big, like Bambi's, full of youthful innocence.

An actor like this would be unbeatable in a youth film.

But the female lead in this version is Yang Mi... She doesn't have any innocent charm at all, and is full of shrewdness.

This caused the entire film to lose its intended theme.

"This Zhou Xiaoqi is clearly a lecherous man!"

"Yang Mi is so sexy, even her school uniform can't hide it. Her curvaceous figure is truly drool-worthy."

"Besides, the high school Yang Mi and her classmates attend must have been very stressful. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone bald at 18."

"Wait a minute! Yang Mi is actually an art student? Haha, considering the plot of this movie is basically adapted from Jing Tian's music video for 'Guest.' Could it be that Yang Mi is playing a gender-swapped version of Lu Zhiyuan?"

As everyone knows, Lu Zhiyuan is an art student and Jing Tian is a dance student.

In this movie, some of the settings were slightly changed.

The female protagonist, Yang Mi, is an art student who has been in poor health since childhood. She moves frequently, enjoys going to the beach to feel the breeze, and waits for someone to meet her by chance.

Isn't this just the story of Lu Zhiyuan?
He was in poor health from a young age and initially lived with his parents in a state-owned enterprise compound. After growing up, he left Xi'an and returned to his hometown to become a left-behind child.

In the summer, he would return to Xi'an for summer vacation and enjoy taking walks on the city wall near his home.

The more I think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.

"I rely on!"

"It's pouring rain."

"Zhou Xiaoqi was pinned to the ground and beaten, soaked to the bone... I think I know something."

"Considering that the male protagonist is a gender-swapped version of Jing Tian, ​​does that mean that Yuan Ge and Jing Tian hit it off because Jing Tian got soaked to the bone somewhere and then saw Yuan Ge at first glance?"

This audience is practically full of Sherlock Holmes.

How could they even make that connection?

And they were absolutely right!
……

"Xiao Su, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Before the film's release, Lu Zhiyuan had not seen the edited version. He was too busy with work to care about youth films.

Anyway, it's only an investment of thirty or forty million, so it doesn't matter if we lose it.

Considering Yang Mi's involvement, this movie shouldn't be too bad at the box office; it should at least make some money.

But Lu Zhiyuan never expected that someone would betray him!

It's Su Lun!
At that moment, Lu Zhiyuan turned to look at Su Lun, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Little Su, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation."

Su Lun smiled awkwardly, indicating that he was powerless to help: "Brother Yuan, I didn't write the script, Brother Kun wrote it. As for why Brother Kun wrote it... I think you can understand Brother Kun's predicament."

It must be that Jing Tian found Kun Ge and made him write according to her wishes.

How could Kun Ge have the courage to resist Jing Tian?
If Kun doesn't do as Jing Tian says, it probably won't be long before Lu Zhiyuan has to go to some very safe prison to bail Kun out.

I'll also pay Kun's 5000 yuan fine.

"I understand. Putting all that aside, your photos are good."

As long as Lu Zhiyuan doesn't admit it, people can speculate freely online.

He doesn't care.

Moreover, this adaptation isn't too outrageous.

甚至，周潇齐下雨天被暴揍，遇到了穿着小白鞋的尤咏慈，干净的如同小白花一样，一见倾心，确实更加的唯美。

Even more impressive.

"Anyway, I hate teen movies."

Although it makes sense logically, for some reason, Lu Zhiyuan always felt that these people were clearly experiencing an overproduction of dopamine and couldn't help but want to sleep with each other.

Then, they use love as an excuse.

Once the relationship between a man and a woman is labeled as love, it suddenly seems much more romantic.

……

"Honey, I've seen the finished film. I still can't understand what You Yongci is pursuing?"

As the producer, Dilraba was well aware that the film's plot was written by Xin Yukun based on Jing Tian's description.

You Yongci is indeed a gender-swapped version of Lu Zhiyuan.

In this movie, You Yongci initially likes Zhou Xiaoqi.

But after moving, You Yongci got into university and immediately fell in love with the football captain.

After discovering that the football captain was having an affair, You Yongci didn't choose Zhou Xiaoqi. But years later, when they met again, she finally chose Zhou Xiaoqi.

This arduous long-term relationship ended in a breakup due to a minor argument.

Dilraba felt she didn't quite understand it.

The whole thing started when Zhou Xiaoqi said a few words of regret, and the female lead, You Yongci, threw away all their years of relationship like trash and turned away.

Moreover, she soon chose to marry someone else.

From beginning to end, only the male protagonist, Zhou Xiaoqi, has been unable to forget You Yongci for 15 years.

As an observer, Dilraba imagined that if Lu Zhiyuan, like Zhou Xiaoqi, couldn't forget her for 15 years... she would have to give birth to 15 children for Lu Zhiyuan to make it worthwhile!

She felt that Lu Zhiyuan would be wronged if even one of them were missing.

Unfortunately, she resembles Zhou Xiaoqi more.

Lu Zhiyuan is more like You Yongci, who resolutely left!

"Because she doesn't feel safe."

"She has zero tolerance for anyone."

"Besides that, she always loved herself the most."

"Of course, the most important reason is that she doesn't love Zhou Xiaoqi at all. It's just that the movie was edited from the perspective of the male protagonist, Zhou Xiaoqi, which leads the audience to have a misunderstanding. They think that You Yongci loves Zhou Xiaoqi."

The female protagonist, You Yongci, is a woman with a very strong sense of purpose.

She always knew what she wanted.

In another version, when Zhang Ruonan played this role, she only made people feel that she was sweet and cute. After watching the movie, people forgot that when the female lead broke up with her boyfriend, she did not hesitate at all.

He was ruthless to the extreme.

In this version, Yang Mi's portrayal of the character [You Yongci] was truly excellent.

Yu Yongci is definitely a green tea b*tch!

However, guys all like "green tea" girls. Because they're good-looking, can provide emotional support, and are occasionally willing to play along with your sentimental games.

"Ah."

“Honey, you’re right. If two people truly love each other, as long as they don’t make any fundamental mistakes, even a small argument shouldn’t escalate to the point of having to break up.”

"It turns out that the female lead didn't love the male lead at all."

Dilraba nodded repeatedly, a smile on her face.

You Yongci doesn't love Zhou Xiaoqi... When Lu Zhiyuan said this, it's like saying that the gender-swapped version of Lu Zhiyuan doesn't like the gender-swapped version of Jing Tian.

Otherwise, how could Lu Zhiyuan have severed ties with Jing Tian just because of a small mistake she made unintentionally?

The reason is that they don't love each other.

"Honey, I will work even harder to earn money."

"Besides that, no matter how many mistakes you make, I will forgive you. I will not blame you; I will only blame those shameless vixens outside."

After filming "Art Students", Lu Zhiyuan became the perfect lover in Dilraba's mind.

Because the ending of this movie isn't the ending of the movie itself, but rather Lu Zhiyuan telling Dilraba a fact.

If someone were to kill Reba, he would go on a killing spree, slaughtering everyone involved.

Then, on the rooftop, Lu Zhiyuan will scatter all his money and all his honors to commemorate their past story.

Even if this story only lasts for 5 minutes, it's enough to leave a deep impression on Dilraba.

"You are already recognized worldwide as the greatest actress in film history. I must become the greatest director in film history to be worthy of you."

The start of the theme song "Guest" signifies that the movie is nearing its end.

Lu Zhiyuan prepared to leave first.

Because he suddenly thought of a good cinematic technique, he had to go back and quickly write down this fleeting inspiration.

The movie "The Great Wall" was made without any reference.

In Lu Zhiyuan's opinion, the movie directed by Zhang Yimou was a piece of garbage.

Even if you gave it to him for free, he wouldn't bother to look at it.

"Husband, thank you."

Seeing Lu Zhiyuan preparing to leave, Dilraba suddenly said thank you, leaving Lu Zhiyuan puzzled.

Thank you for finding me in this corner of the world.

"It should."

If it were someone else, they might say, "What are you thanking me for?" or "What's wrong with you?"
But Lu Zhiyuan seemed to know what Reba was thinking, and touched her cheek: "You Yongci, there will still be a wedding in the end."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Reba was deeply moved.

The audience members sitting behind them kept whispering that You Yongci was a gender-swapped version of Lu Zhiyuan.

In the movie, Yu Yongci has a wedding.

She didn't marry Zhou Xiaoqi.

In reality, Lu Zhiyuan will also have a wedding, but it won't be with Jing Tian.

Then it must be with yourself!
……

Inside a café near the Beijing Dance Academy.

Jing Tian had already bought this coffee shop long ago.

Hanikezi comes here for breakfast every day; it's free, and the food tastes much better than in the school cafeteria.

I occasionally come here for late-night snacks, especially lately.

Because she needs to supplement with enough calcium and protein.

"Sister Tian Tian, ​​I'm so tired. What do you need me for?"

Now, Hanikezi not only has to rehearse dances, but after that, she also has to swim for an hour at the swimming pool to grow taller.

I'm exhausted every day.

She just wanted to go to sleep early, hoping that sleep would allow her body, which had just been stretched, to grow as much as possible.

"Honey, let's sign a contract."

Without saying a word, Jing Tian had a lawyer-looking person next to her hand her a contract.

"What contract?"

Hanikezi glanced down and saw a share financing agreement for the company 【LT Find House】.

The agreement states that Black Hole Horizon will acquire a 20% stake in LT Find House for $2 million.

The supplementary agreement also states that 80% of the shares owned by [Black Hole Horizon], totaling 16%, will be transferred to Hanikezi free of charge.

These 16% of shares are held by Lu Zhiyuan himself.

"Sister Tian, ​​what exactly did you do? You swindled 16% of the shares from Brother A Yuan and then transferred them to me?"

"What kind of company is this 'Old Man Finds a House'?"

Hanikezi could tell at a glance that these shares were transferred to her by Lu Zhiyuan.

Because the supplementary agreement clearly states the figure of 2 million US dollars.

This is the money she spent on buying world-famous paintings for Lu Zhiyuan. Lu Zhiyuan used this method to repay her.

It doesn't matter.

Because Lu Zhiyuan returned the money to Gao Yuanyuan in other ways, but Gao Yuanyuan still became his second master's wife.

No, she's the Third Master's Wife now!

"What do you mean by 'old man looking for a house'? That sounds awful. This is [LT House Finder]. The L from Lu Zhiyuan, the T from Jing Tian, ​​you could call it [3D House Finder]. Because our website has a VR 3D viewing system." Jing Tian explained the company's prospects to Hanikezi.

Hanikezi almost fell asleep halfway through the conversation.

Since it was arranged by Lu Zhiyuan, she signed without saying a word: "Sister Tiantian, I've finished signing. Can I go back to sleep? I'm so tired."

"Let's go back."

Jing Tian and Hanikezi walked out the door together.

Before parting, she said meaningfully, "Honey, you're beautiful, with lovely eyes and a delicate chin. However, your height is a problem, and besides that, your acting skills are lacking."

“Starting tomorrow, I will find you some national treasure-level stage actors to serve as your acting teachers. You have to work hard.”

Jing Tian had also tried this path.

But perhaps because they lacked talent, it had no effect whatsoever.

However, Jing Tian felt that Hanikezi should have some talent. At least, Hanikezi is young enough.

Moreover, Hanikezi has already worked with world-class directors on several films, and she has a deep understanding of how films are made, what kind of shots directors want, and what kind of body language and facial expressions they want actors to present.

Targeted tutoring should be very effective.

"Thank you, Sister Tian Tian."

In the past two years, Hanikezi has had more free time because Lu Zhiyuan has been busy working on the "Great Wall" project.

This project took a long time to complete.

However, the next movie is Lu Zhiyuan's masterpiece, "Real Steel 4".

Although Lu Zhiyuan didn't say it, everyone guessed that he wanted to use this movie to break Avatar's record for the highest-grossing film in history.

Hanikezi felt that as long as she performed well in this movie and met or even exceeded Lu Zhiyuan's requirements, she could succeed.

Lu Zhiyuan will definitely love her to death!

Directors often fall in love with their leading ladies.

Because the female lead is the director's best work of art.

"Honey, I've always liked you. I've always been good to you. Think about it carefully, have I ever hurt you?"

Jing Tian wondered if Hanikezi, that little fool, hadn't understood her subtext.

She needs to make things clear.

Hanikezi smiled and said, "Sister Tiantian, I know what you want to say."

"But it's no use."

“I will always stand by Brother A Yuan’s side. The shares mentioned in the agreement we just signed were given to me by Brother A Yuan, which is why I am willing to accept them.”

"If someone else offered me that money, I wouldn't take it no matter how much it cost."

Jing Tian wanted to win him over and make him her pawn.

Realizing this, Hanikezi gave a soft snort to himself.

Did I give everything just to be your pawn?

Do you think I'm a fool?
“Sister Tian Tian, ​​you are an only child, so you can’t feel all of this. But I want to remind you that in most families, the youngest child is the most pampered.”

Hanikezi felt that as the fourth child, she must be the most pampered in the family, showered with love and affection.

that's the truth.

What is she afraid of?
She's only 19; she could outlive even the most beautiful women. Not to mention Gao Yuanyuan and Jing Tian.

In her eyes, both of them were aunties.

"Hani, I underestimated you. That bastard taught you very well." Jing Tian suddenly realized that Hanikezi was currently in a state of having nothing.

He has nothing left; it seems he has lost everything.

But in reality, Hanikezi's complete lack of possessions made Lu Zhiyuan dote on her.

“Sister Tian Tian, ​​Brother A Yuan didn’t teach me these things. However, over the years, I’ve learned a lot of useful knowledge from the three of you.”

Only practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

Hanikezi witnessed firsthand how Gao Yuanyuan and Reba rose to power, and how Jing Tian made her triumphant return.

These people are all her teachers!

……

At Lu Zhiyuan's home.

After Gao Yuanyuan finally managed to get the child to sleep.

Stepping onto the balcony, she called her older brother: "Brother, the game of hiring guns you told me about is completely useless. Although they've started fighting, they haven't fought to the end; they only scratch the surface each time. At this rate, how long am I supposed to wait?"

Dilraba and Jing Tian fought several times, but it was all probing; they never revealed their true intentions or dealt any critical damage.

Their fight was like a joke; not a single scratch was rubbed off.

How can they both suffer losses if things continue like this?

"Little sister, the opponent you've encountered also has a master behind him."

"The way these two are playing now is like the competition between Coca-Cola and Pepsi back then... In the Nash equilibrium, when the two sides start fighting each other, one win and one loss is the optimal strategy."

"But the problem is that everyone knows what the outcome will be. So when they fight, they are very tacitly in sync, you advance and I retreat, I retreat and you advance, and there will be no really fierce battle, and they will always maintain a balance."

"They'll maintain this state of affairs very tacitly. The purpose is to guard against you, the third party, or even the fourth party... This is a game for the giants. If you want to play this game, others who want to enter the arena have to think carefully: can you afford to play?"

Gao Yuanyuan felt that she couldn't afford to play that game!
Both Dilraba and Jing Tian were able to tentatively throw a tantrum at Lu Zhiyuan, even causing him some embarrassment.

As long as it's not too outrageous, Lu Zhiyuan will choose to turn a blind eye.

But Gao Yuanyuan can't afford to play that game.

Because her persona is one of gentleness and consideration, and once that persona is gone... she'll have to resort to her trump card, which is her daughter.

Otherwise, she would have no advantage over Lu Zhiyuan.

But if she were to bring out her daughter, even her older brother would probably berate her mercilessly, and she would experience true betrayal and isolation overnight.

"Big brother, both of them are smarter than me. Can you teach me a secret technique so I can have an advantage?"

Taking care of her child at home every day, Gao Yuanyuan felt that her IQ had plummeted from the level of a junior college student to that of a vocational high school student.

"Little sister, have you noticed? Yuan is very clever. He's been playing a game called the cake-cutting game."

"In this game, when someone chooses to take the knife and fork and cut the cake, they must give up the right to choose the cake. They must give that right to another person."

Suddenly, Brother Gao pointed out a clear path for Gao Yuanyuan.

It's highly unlikely that Gao Yuanyuan will be the one to choose the cake, because after giving birth, she no longer wants to work hard on set.

But she could be the one holding the knife and fork, cutting the cake for Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan did indeed grant her some authority in this regard.

For example, Gao Yuanyuan introduced Wang Baoqiang to Lu Zhiyuan, making him Lu Zhiyuan's top supporting actor.

But after doing this, Gao Yuanyuan's role as the female lead was directly stolen by Dilraba.

This caught Gao Yuanyuan completely off guard.

Gao Yuanyuan was still a little confused at the time, wondering why this was. But after hearing her older brother's explanation, she suddenly understood.

Cutting the cake, or choosing the cake?
Lu Zhiyuan will only give her one choice; he will never let her have both advantages!

"Big brother, you two teamed up and made a fool of me. You clearly knew all along, why didn't you tell me before?"

Gao Yuanyuan was really angry.

Be angry at yourself.

She couldn't understand why, even though she was the female lead, all the emotional high points in the movie "Art Students" were stolen by Dilraba.

Naza is the same. She was the female lead, so why did all the media attention go to Hanikezi after filming "Mojin: The Lost Legend"?

Now, she knows.

Because her older brother let it slip.

At that moment, a sense of defeat, of being intellectually crushed, truly arose spontaneously.

too painful.

"Sister, I know what you want. I have a plan that can kill them both. Do you want to use it?"

Brother Gao was getting a little tired of the game and was ready to end it.

Anyway, Gao Yuanyuan has already given birth to a daughter, experienced love and family with Lu Zhiyuan, and experienced kinship. Her life is complete enough.

"No, brother. I think things are fine as they are. I'm not going to fight anymore; I don't have the talent for that."

Gao Yuanyuan instinctively sensed that her older brother was in some danger at that moment.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan must also know the tricks that his elder brother can think of, and may even be preparing in advance.

If she dares to use it, she might not be able to take down the other two, but she'll most likely kill herself.

"In that case, don't ask such stupid questions again next time. Just live your life and raise my niece."

Brother Gao's counterattack left Gao Yuanyuan speechless.

It's not that I didn't want to give you advice, it's that you gave up on your own.

After saying that, Brother Gao hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.

it is finally over.

Turning around, Brother Gao saw Lu Zhiyuan across from him, shrugged, and said with a helpless expression, "Why didn't you come earlier? I've already given her several suggestions."

“I know. But it’s okay, she has a good heart, but she’s very timid. She only thinks about it secretly when it’s quiet at night, and she’s never used it.”

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and said nonchalantly.

In some matters, it's best to judge by actions, not intentions.

After a while, he revealed the purpose of his visit: "Brother, it's about time to update the design language of the Jaeger characters in 'Real Steel'."

Real Steel 4 is the movie that Lu Zhiyuan really wanted to make.

The Great Wall was the task he accepted.

Only by completing this task well will he gain everyone's support when he films "Real Steel 4".

They might even get him a 99% screening rate, who knows?

"Real Steel 4, are you really going to make it?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Gao was also very excited: "I thought that after you finished filming 'The Great Wall' and the box office surpassed Spielberg's, you would retire directly."

Brother Gao always thought that "Real Steel 4" was just a pie in the sky that Lu Zhiyuan was making to audiences all over the world.

Because, in Brother Gao's mind, the Real Steel trilogy, plus the prequel Upgrade, already makes the story very complete.

It will be very difficult for Real Steel 4 to break the cycle of this story.

If one is not careful, it is easy to turn a classic into a poor sequel, which would be a loss and would affect Lu Zhiyuan's historical reputation.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Zhiyuan actually wanted to take on the challenge.

He greatly admired Lu Zhiyuan's courage.

“If you really want to make this film, I will help you assemble an expert discussion group. When everyone has free time, we can brainstorm and gather some inspiration for you.”

Brother Gao confidently agreed.

The stars and the sea are a man's dream.

His younger sister is obsessed with love; she's always plotting power struggles in Lu Zhiyuan's house and trying to rise to the top.

Little did they know that whether it was cutting the cake or choosing the cake, it all depended on Lu Zhiyuan's mood.

……

The box office performance of the movie "Your Wedding" was neither too high nor too low; in this release period, it was the best of the worst.

On its third day of release, the film grossed around 30 million yuan.

On its third day of release, the film grossed around 30 million yuan.

On its third day of release, the film grossed around 30 million yuan.

Within three days, the box office revenue almost broke even.

Meanwhile, Liu Yifei's film "The Third Way of Love" grossed only about 4800 million yuan in three days, which is only half of the box office of "Your Wedding".

It looks alright.

However, starting from the 4th day, a watershed moment appeared.

On September 28th, the box office revenue for the movie "Your Wedding" was 22 million.

The drop was less than 30%, so it can be considered to have stabilized.

The box office of "The Third Way of Love," starring Liu Yifei, plummeted to 670 million yuan, a drop of more than 50%.

A few days ago, if Liu Yifei's name hadn't been mentioned, the movie's box office would have been even worse.

The current situation is that Liu Yifei's fans have almost finished watching the movie, and after word-of-mouth started to spread, the actual box office figures have emerged.

It's worth noting that the difference in screening rates between these two films isn't particularly significant.

However, the box office revenue was more than three times lower.

Immediately, Yang Mi's side began frantically releasing press releases.

—[Yang Mi's new film grosses over 100 million yuan in three days, doubling the box office success of Liu Yifei!]

—[Youth films, a new benchmark in the market! Following "How Long Will I Love U" and "Goodbye Mr. Loser," Yang Mi conquers the Mid-Autumn Festival box office with another masterpiece, "Your Wedding."]

—【Between Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, viewers voted with their feet!】

……

Since Lu Zhiyuan woke up in the morning, his phone has been flooded with ads and pop-ups, all of them related to Yang Mi.

How much did you spend on marketing this movie?

While eating breakfast, Lu Zhiyuan specifically asked Reba about her.

Dilraba smiled smugly and said, "The company didn't spend any money. I promised you I wouldn't release any press releases to smear Sister Niu. But Yang Mi paid for these press releases herself."

Dilraba didn't spend any money, but she was very happy to see Yang Mi step on Liu Yifei.

"understood."

After finishing his meal, Lu Zhiyuan turned around and went upstairs.

He glanced at his phone; there were several calls from Liu Yifei. After thinking for a moment, he simply turned it off.

He has no vested interest in Liu Yifei.

This film was primarily controlled by his company, with Dilraba Dilmurat serving as the producer and the largest single investor.

Business is business.

Since you've chosen this path, you have to be prepared to be trampled on when the box office flops.

After all, when Liu Yifei herself is standing in the center position on the red carpet, she also releases a lot of press releases to put others down.

……

Inside a swimming pool.

Xin Yukun had just finished swimming around when he shouted at Hanikezi, "Hani, throw away your swimming ring and go for a swim. You'll learn quickly."

Hanikezi ignored Xin Yukun and continued to swim silently.

As Xin Yukun dried his hair, he found a SPA massage pool and lay down. Immediately, two young women came over and applied essential oils to his face.

Liu Yifei was making phone calls the whole time. When she saw Xin Yukun coming over, she said helplessly, "Brother Kun, he's not answering my calls."

"He'd be a fool to accept."

Xin Yukun knew Lu Zhiyuan well, and snorted, saying, "Back then, he told you not to make bad movies, not to waste the reputation you'd worked so hard to build on these bad films. But have you ever heard the saying, 'When you don't see eye to eye, a word is too much'?"

"But don't worry, he will still reserve the role for you in the movie 'The Great Wall'. Because if you make a bad movie, it's over and done with, and it has nothing to do with him."

"As long as your face doesn't collapse."

"You are still the fairy in his heart."

After Xin Yukun finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Yifei's round neck and said, "Go underwater with Hani. You have one more month. If you can't keep your weight under 95 pounds, be careful Yuan Ge will start scolding you."

Just now, Xin Yukun asked Liu Yifei about her current weight, and Liu Yifei whispered that she currently weighs 106 pounds.

Xin Yukun was so frightened that he wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

With only one month left to lose 11 pounds, can Liu Yifei succeed in her current condition?

not much hope.

He now desperately wants to return the $200 million to Liu Yifei to avoid being scolded by Lu Zhiyuan as well.

"Don't worry, I have a lot of experience when it comes to losing weight!"

Liu Yifei is very confident about this.

I never expected that "The Third Way of Love" would flop so badly.

The box office totaled around 5000 million over the first three days, which sounds alright.

However, starting from the fourth day, the box office dropped all the way down to just over 6 million. On September 30th, due to the release of Andy Lau's "Saving Mr. Wu" and Lu Chuan's "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe", the screenings of "The Third Way of Love" were reduced to 1%!

The box office revenue plummeted to just over 100 million.

What else is going on?
It's estimated that it won't be long before it's pulled from theaters.
"Brother Kun, why don't you guys sue 'Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe'? The movie 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' popularized the 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' genre, and 'Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe' is just piggybacking on that."

Liu Yifei felt that if "Mojin: The Lost Legend" hadn't been so popular, theaters wouldn't have given "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" so many screenings when it was released.

If "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" hadn't had so many screenings, its own film, "The Third Way of Love," wouldn't have had such a dismal number of screenings.

A 1% screening rate?

This movie has only been out for a week!

It’s so miserable!

“I told you long ago that movies and TV series are different. In TV series, you can use your face to let the audience see your face for free. But movies are the director’s art.”

"It's the art of directing!"

"It's the art of directing!"

"I'll say the key words to you three times, please remember them firmly. Next time, don't let your confidence inexplicably swell up and go and make some movies about unknown people."

"Only a top-tier director could do justice to your face."

Xin Yukun immediately launched into a tirade against Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei looked wronged and said aggrievedly, "I thought it was okay while we were filming. Who knew the final result would be so much worse?"

Regardless, Liu Yifei indirectly obtained a startling fact through Xin Yukun's words.

Lu Zhiyuan thought her face was incredibly beautiful.

Only a movie directed by a great director is worthy of her face!
Very good!
I knew it. How could a boy his age not like me?

He is just pretending.
