The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 377 Lu Zhiyuan's Plan B never disappoints! Director David Fincher admits his mistake.

……

Although she secretly wished she could be the most mysterious woman in the world, so that Lu Zhiyuan would come and find out what was going on.

But when it came to putting it into practice, Nazha suddenly felt completely lost.

What is mystery? She had no idea.

But why bother with all this mystery?
She's pretty, that's all that matters.

……

The next morning.

Naza was wearing a dark green velvet slip dress.

The fabric of this slip dress is full of luster, and as you walk, it shimmers with the light and shadow colors that Lu Zhiyuan likes the most.

The key to this slip dress is that the hem is not regular, but cut at a 30-degree angle, giving it a restless and unconventional feel.

Wearing it, Nazha looked like a wildcat in heat, her every move seeming to be courting a mate.

"so cold."

After walking around for a couple of minutes, Nazha immediately ran back, shivering, and put on an extra thick coat.

Although Nazha wanted to seduce Lu Zhiyuan, she was more worried about getting diarrhea from the cold and losing face in front of him.

Compared to vanity, being presentable is the most important thing.

However, Nazha's layered look, with its mismatched inner and outer appearance, caught Lu Zhiyuan's eye.

"good."

"Today's outfit has a mysterious feel to it. It has a captivating charm that seems to hold back something."

Naza had no idea that she had stumbled upon the perfect solution.

She wore a form-fitting velvet slip dress underneath, which accentuated her figure beautifully, and a very thick coat over it.

As Naza walks, her coat sways with her steps, occasionally revealing glimpses of the sheen of her form-fitting velvet slip dress, creating a stunningly beautiful sight.

For women, concealment and disclosure are an art.

How to show off your beautiful figure and how to hide those mysterious parts? With the right combination, you can inspire endless imagination.

"Huh? Is this okay?"

When Nazha heard Lu Zhiyuan's praise, she was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled.

Regardless, as long as Lu Zhiyuan thinks he's beautiful, that's all that matters.

"Sister Nazha, this is your breakfast. I brought it to you."

Hanikezi saw from afar that Nazha was flaunting herself in front of Lu Zhiyuan like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, her seductive intentions almost written all over her face.

She was speechless, but she still restrained her anger and brought Nazha a breakfast.

A whole wheat bread, a cup of black coffee, and a boiled egg.

Low in calories and sugar, high in protein.

It is very nutritious.

"Thank you, Honey."

For female celebrities, indulging in lavish meals and drinks is an extremely luxurious thing.

Normally, Nazha only indulges in a big meal to treat herself when she's particularly happy.

She knew very well that her race required her to carefully control her diet.

otherwise……

She'll know once she goes home and checks on her mother.

When her mother was young, she was the most beautiful woman in the surrounding area, with a very delicate face. Look at her now?
Her face became wider, and her eyes were squeezed smaller.

It's all because the food in their hometown is just too high in calories.

The lessons learned from the past are right there.

Naza swore to God that she would extend her shelf life so that she could forcefully surpass Dilraba, who is a month younger than her.

In terms of the peak of her acting career, she can't even come close to Dilraba.

However, in terms of the shelf life of her looks, she has to outshine Dilraba by a factor of two.

Even after Dilraba's beauty fades and her looks decline drastically, she will still be the most beautiful pomegranate flower in Lu Zhiyuan's heart.

"Oh, right, Honey, this is my Christmas present for you. I was going to give it to you yesterday, but it was already late when I got back, so I didn't bother you."

Lu Zhiyuan took out a small gift box from under the table and pushed it over.

"Thank you, brother."

Hanikezi accepted the gift without hesitation and happily accepted it.

In front of Nazha, she opened the gift box and found a very exquisite crescent moon amulet made of gold.

This amulet is no different from a necklace.

Ancient and full of aristocratic charm.

Hanikezi loved the gift and happily put the gold amulet around her neck.

Unbeknownst to her, when Nazha saw this scene, she silently tightened the collar of her coat.

It's so embarrassing.

Because she also wore that amulet around her neck.

Hanikezi must not see this.

Otherwise, by the end of this breakfast, the entire Hilton hotel would know that Artemis and the alien princess had fought.

Real Steel 4 has been released ahead of schedule!
"Brother, I've also prepared a Christmas present for you. I've put it in your room. You can open it yourself when you get back later."

Hanikezi didn't notice Nazha's little gesture; she raised an eyebrow at Nazha triumphantly.

Do you see it?

I told you long ago, I'm Yuan-ge's little cutie.

You don't have such a small gift.

"Hani, this amulet looks especially beautiful on you when you wear it around your neck," Nazha said, offering a few insincere compliments to Hanikezi.

She really wanted to open the collar of her coat so that Hanikezi could see it clearly.

But no.

Mystery is a woman's greatest charm.

She can't show all her answers on her face.

That would be too straightforward, too superficial, and not subtle enough.

Subtlety is the essence of beauty.

"Thank you, Sister Nazha. You look exceptionally beautiful today too."

Hanikezi glanced at Nazha with some surprise. It seemed like Nazha had suddenly grown up overnight.

In the past, Nazha would have said something very tactless, like, "You don't look good in this. You look like a little kid."

If that's the case, Hanikezi will definitely be very angry.

The two exchanged a few perfunctory compliments before lowering their heads to eat.

After breakfast, Nazha and Hanikezi had some Christmas fashion events to attend, so they went their separate ways.

"Nazha, you did a great job today."

“I’ll give you an extra little bonus… For Real Steel 3, I made a story called ‘Creating Adam,’ and for Real Steel 4, I have a few ideas for now.”

"After God created Adam, Adam needed a partner, and that was Eve. When Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden together, that was the beginning of civilization."

"If you have time, you can look at more artistic creations or mythological stories in this area, which will be of great help to your role."

Lu Zhiyuan felt he had said enough.

But after hearing this, Nazha was full of questions. Isn't this just a story from the Bible? What does it have to do with "Real Steel 4"?
However, Nazha also read film critics' reviews of Lu Zhiyuan's "Real Steel" series, which described it as a religious mythology story disguised as science fiction, full of conflicts between humanity and divinity.

Lu Zhiyuan uses human characters with divine names, such as Alita, the Battle Angel, and Artemis, the strongest woman, to describe the story of God initiating civilization!

Although Nazha didn't understand these things, she always felt that Lu Zhiyuan was incredibly charming whenever he said them to her.

Mystery makes women attractive.

Similarly, a man full of talent can be very attractive to a woman like her who is uneducated and incompetent.

"Brother Yuan, I'll do whatever you say."

Gentleness is a woman's greatest weapon. I don't know which romance novel Nazha read this in, but she understood this principle when she was 15 years old.

If she's willing to put aside her temper and act coquettishly towards men every day, no man can resist her gentleness.

However, Nazha also knew that Lu Zhiyuan was already very resistant to such a little trick.

Because every day, many women fawn over him.

But Nazha also has her own little tricks.

She glanced silently at Hanikezi, who was standing in the corner of the corridor, refusing to get on the elevator no matter what. Suddenly, she turned her head and whispered in Lu Zhiyuan's ear, "Honey, I'll come to Los Angeles to see the sea again next Christmas. I don't want the future, I just want you to come."

Next Christmas should be the release date of the movie "The Great Wall".

Normally, Lu Zhiyuan should be in China for the premiere.

But the film "The Great Wall" is extraordinary.

External propaganda is more important than internal propaganda.

Therefore, Lu Zhiyuan will most likely hold a premiere in North America.

Nazha felt confident that she would win this deal.

Lu Zhiyuan will definitely come to Los Angeles for promotional activities during Christmas.

Next Christmas, I'll be watching the ocean in Los Angeles. I don't care about the future, I just want you to come.

Naza felt that she had said this very well.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan will surely come.

Just assume he came for himself.

Thinking about it this way, Nazha was overjoyed.

"Nazha, if you could put half the effort you put into dating into improving your acting skills, you would have been my leading lady long ago."

In another timeline, Nazha entered the entertainment industry at a young age and was largely ignored. In her early days, she had a bad temper, liked to argue with netizens online, and spoke without thinking.

She resembles a somewhat uncultured and uncivilized young woman.

Many years later, after she turned 30 and had suffered a lot, at least when she spoke online, Nazha started to use her brain a little more.

But in variety shows, she still has a face that screams "I'm a fool."

There are even rumors circulating that if a reporter wants to interview Nazha, they must provide the questions in advance, and Nazha's management team will write down the answers before allowing Nazha to conduct the interview.

If there is no prior communication, Nazha will act like a wooden statue during the interview, not answering a single question.

Otherwise, she could easily create a memorable moment and become the laughing stock of the entire internet.

However, in this world, Nazha has been by Lu Zhiyuan's side since she was 18.

Although Lu Zhiyuan essentially left Nazha to her own devices, he would occasionally bring her along to give her some extra lessons.

He shared some of his artistic concepts with Nazha, and discussed his methods for portraying characters when making movies.

In any case, this is a very meaningful thing for an actor's career.

After all, from a director's perspective, the portrayal of a character has a commanding, overarching feel, which is a kind of "lower-dimensional attack" for the actor.

Although Nazha didn't learn much from Lu Zhiyuan, it's better than not learning anything at all.

In the more than 20 years of Nazha's life, besides her father, Lu Zhiyuan was the one who treated her the best. He had absolutely no intention of harming her.

I didn't want to deceive her about her body.

Sometimes, Nazha even wished that Lu Zhiyuan would be a scumbag in her life, but even so, Nazha seemed to have a sense of disappointment, like a daydream.

For a painter with a strong sense of moral purity, making Lu Zhiyuan a scumbag is almost as difficult as making him a murderer.

Therefore, Nazha is also very clear that as long as she wins over Lu Zhiyuan, it will definitely be a promise for life.

After pulling off this job, she'll retire and become the fourth concubine!

"Nazha, you are good in every way, but you must keep your mouth shut."

Naza is so arrogant, she actually called Lu Zhiyuan "husband" directly.

This made Lu Zhiyuan very uncomfortable.

“Honey, I’m not stupid. Honey’s always watching you. But she doesn’t know that you’ve always treated her like a daughter.”

"Just now, Hani was showing off to me, and I almost pulled down my collar to let her see the amulet around my neck. She would have been furious."

“But after thinking about it carefully, you treat Hani like a daughter. Isn’t she my daughter? I’m too busy spoiling her, how could I make her angry?”

At this moment, Nazha's reaction truly surprised Lu Zhiyuan.

"Keep it up. Don't argue with Honey. If Perseus is the Garden of Eden in the hearts of Earthlings, then you and Honey are Adam and Eve in my heart."

"Only by working together can you leave the Garden of Eden and create a new civilization for mankind."

Lu Zhiyuan smiled at Nazha, then turned and went upstairs.

The filming of "The Great Wall" is almost complete, but the post-production will take a long time.

But that doesn't matter.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

However, his concept for "Real Steel 4" has only just begun, with less than 10% complete, and it will probably take a lot of his energy to complete it.

Fortunately, there is still almost a year left.

"Brother Yuan, I will try my best."

Naza kept making promises to Lu Zhiyuan.

Although Lu Zhiyuan only hugged her once in a movie, he never even kissed her in the movie.

But at this moment, as Nazha looked at Lu Zhiyuan's back, she still felt very happy.

“I call him husband and he doesn’t scold me. It seems that my chances of being the fourth child are very high, much higher than that brat Hani.”

Being shameless is the first essential element in pursuing your dream guy.

Hanikezi is too concerned about saving face and too eager to maintain appearances.

Hanikezi only dared to call Lu Zhiyuan "brother," unlike her. Having been out in the world since childhood, she understood very well that when dealing with an artist like Lu Zhiyuan who wanted to maintain a respectable image, she had to use the same trick that a street-smart young woman used against a blond-haired thug.

Persistence!

Gao Yuanyuan broke through Jing Tian and Dilraba's tight defenses by relentlessly pursuing them, thus securing a niche for herself.

If Gao Yuanyuan can do it, then of course she can too.

……

On the other hand...

Hanikezi deliberately waited at the top of the stairs for Nazha to come and meet him.

"Honey, are you full? Do you want me to buy you some desserts so we can have a little treat after the event?" Nazha smiled at Hanikezi. This was Lu Zhiyuan's little darling, her husband's little darling, and of course, her little darling as well.

"no need."

Hanikezi completely rejected Nazha's sweet talk.

"Then you should dress warmly so you don't catch a cold. Although the climate in Los Angeles is warmer than in Beijing, it's only the end of December, so you need to be careful."

Naza suddenly became like a mother hen, nagging at me incessantly, showing me great care, and her eyes were especially kind and gentle.

This left Hanikezi looking puzzled.

What's going on with Nazha suddenly radiating that maternal glow?
Even though Hanikezi didn't appreciate her gesture, Nazha wasn't angry and maintained a gentle smile towards her.

But Nazha's acting skills could only last a few minutes.

She couldn't keep up the act any longer and decided to leave before her act was exposed.

But in the next moment, Nazha was pulled back by Hanikezi.

Naza turned her head with a puzzled look, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. But she quickly realized what was going on and instantly changed her expression, revealing a formulaic smile: "Honey, have you changed your mind? Come to my room, I have some snacks there, you should like them."

"Sister Nazha, before you go back to your room, please take a look at this."

Hanikezi waited here for a long time, just so that Lu Zhiyuan could return to his room, open the little gift she had given him, and then give him a word of praise.

At this moment, she was ready to throw those words in Nazha's face.

"what?"

Naza glanced down and saw Lu Zhiyuan's profile picture.

The portrait of Lu Zhiyuan is a photo of himself, taken from a scene in the movie "Art Students".

Veteran movie fans will recognize this shot immediately.

This scene shows Lu Zhiyuan being pulled into a car by Dilraba, who then says to him, "Welcome to our big family."

At the same time, a beam of light shone down from the car window and fell on Lu Zhiyuan's face. He was expressionless, but the well-placed light on his face seemed to have already given the answer.

Although there was no dialogue in this scene, the interplay of light and shadow acted like a magician, letting everyone know that he had agreed.

After filming the movie "Art Students", Lu Zhiyuan changed his profile picture to this photo.

Everyone except Dilraba was very unhappy.

But there is no way.

Because Li Wen loves Haibuna.

Caravaggio, driven by his desire to assassinate nobles, never received a pardon from the Pope throughout his life.

Heibnat, a wealthy young lady, fell in love with the painter Modigliani at the age of 17. She ran away from home to live with him, using her hands, which were used to play the piano and violin, to do his laundry and cook for him. The day after learning that Modigliani had died in his studio, she jumped off a building and committed suicide.

The film "Art Students" is indeed Lu Zhiyuan's autobiography.

Although he didn't counterfeit money like the male protagonist in the movie, he did include his story with Dilraba in the film.

"Honey, thank you for the gift. The scarf is very warm, and I'm very happy. This is the best gift I've received in years."

Lu Zhiyuan replied to Hanikezi with a message, his tone full of joy.

Hanikezi smiled smugly at Nazha: "Sister Nazha, did you see that? I told you long ago that the teacher would definitely like my gift. You even laughed at me for being old-fashioned."

"It is my fault."

Nazha didn't argue with Hanikezi at all.

Hanikezi is blinded by her own feelings; her mind is completely focused on romance, which is why she interprets Lu Zhiyuan's various tones as romantic inclinations.

In reality, from an outsider's perspective, this is simply an old father feeling comforted that his daughter has knitted him a scarf by hand after she has grown up.

Where is there even a hint of ambiguity?

Hanikezi's smile vanished, and she coldly extended her hand to Nazha: "Since that's the case, give me that crescent moon amulet around your neck. I'll give you a million US dollars."

what?
Trying to overwhelm me with money?
Ha, you brat, you completely look down on yourself!
I'm very rich too!
At this moment, Nazha could no longer continue acting, and an angry look appeared on her face.

This brat wants to take away the Christmas present Lu Zhiyuan gave me. If I keep putting up with this, won't I look like a coward?
However, Lu Zhiyuan had just hinted to himself that he shouldn't argue with Hanikezi.

Naza could only hold her breath and calmly say, "Honey, don't be so stingy. Brother Yuan bought more than a dozen of these necklaces, and he's already given them away to several people."

"However, yours is different. You can take a look; are there any special words on the back of the crescent moon?"

Nazha reminded Hanikezi of something.

Although Lu Zhiyuan bought countless similar necklaces, each one held a different significance in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Hanikezi quickly took out the necklace, turned it over to the back of the crescent moon, and glanced at it.

There is a line of English text.

——【For my little sweetie】
"what!"

Upon seeing this line of text, Hanikezi smiled happily.

However, she suddenly became clever and stared straight at Nazha: "Sister Nazha, let me take a look at the words on the back of your necklace."

Naza absolutely doesn't want to give it!
Why should I let you see it?

Hanikezi thought that Lu Zhiyuan considered her a romantic partner based on that line of text, but Nazha knew that this term was meant for her daughter.

But if Hanikezi doesn't see it, that brat Hani will definitely keep knocking on her door all night.

At that moment, Nazha reluctantly took out her necklace and showed it to Hanikezi, revealing the line of blessings on the back of her necklace.

——【Shining in the sky】

"Oh, that's good."

There seems to be nothing wrong with this blessing; it's just that Lu Zhiyuan hopes that Nazha, as a big star, can shine all over the world.

Hanikezi compared her own message to the one she had written, "For my little darling," and felt instantly satisfied, skipping and hopping away.

"Idiot honey."

"What my husband said was that my beauty will always shine in his starry sky. In other words, he fell in love with me at first sight."

Aside from falling in love with her at first sight, Nazha couldn't think of any other reason why Lu Zhiyuan would be willing to take her, a pretty face with no acting skills, into so many movies.

He also instructed Zhang Tianai to secure some good fashion resources for himself.

Many of these fashion resources were bundled together with Dilraba.

Since fashion resources can be packaged together.

I must have a share in that man, Lu Zhiyuan.

After finishing her reading comprehension exercise, Nazha was in an exceptionally good mood and went upstairs with a smile.

……

"David, long time no see. How have you been?"

Lu Zhiyuan stayed in Los Angeles until around New Year's Day, just to find time to meet with director David Fincher.

Director David Fincher had been avoiding Lu Zhiyuan, but in the end, he couldn't escape him.

Because Netflix launched a new project called "Mindhunter," and David Fincher was chosen as the director.

As one of Netflix's behind-the-scenes owners and also the art director specially appointed by Netflix's board of directors, Lu Zhiyuan has a great influence, even though he is not a core member of Netflix's management team.

He gave the "Mind Detective" project a C, indicating that he had reservations about the project.

I neither approve nor disapprove.

His action was tantamount to abstaining from voting.

However, he gave another project, Stranger Things, an S rating, hoping that Netflix management would increase investment in the project.

Netflix even listed this project as a key project for the next few years, no less important than "House of Cards".

Lu Zhiyuan's casual comment caused a sensation throughout Netflix.

This is the first time Lu Zhiyuan has given such a high rating on the content review committee.

As the writers and directors of "Stranger Things," the brothers Matt Duffy and Ross Duffy are extremely grateful to Lu Zhiyuan.

The Duffy brothers are very young, only in their early 30s, and have very little influence in Hollywood.

After all, they just debuted this year, made a horror movie called "Hideout", which did not win any awards and the box office figures are unknown.

In short, they're still a loser.

Nobody paid any attention to it.

The two brothers recently joined Netflix with the script for "Stranger Things".

Not long after, they heard a rumor that they had gained the favor of the famous director Lu Zhiyuan.

On the content review committee, Lu Zhiyuan gave their project an S-level rating!
Netflix only releases a few original works each year, so naturally, the content review committee would send Lu Zhiyuan a list of projects.

Lu Zhiyuan attends a review meeting about once a month.

He rarely gives high scores.

But this time, he gave a pair of new directors an S rating, which immediately caused the entire Netflix production department to frantically inquire about the background of these two brothers.
Did you know Lu Zhiyuan before?
Otherwise, someone as arrogant and aloof as Lu Zhiyuan would not have given such high importance to a small TV series project.

There must be something wrong here.

But after they did some research, and even tried to use their connections to get information from within the CIA, they finally concluded that the two brothers had no connection whatsoever with Lu Zhiyuan.

They have no other relationship except that they are both human males.

If that's the case, this project must have great potential.

Once Netflix realized this, the entire company became extremely interested in the project.

When renowned director Shawn Levy heard about this, he immediately took the Stranger Things project to study it.

After reading the entire project proposal, he immediately decided not to make the "Night at the Museum" series for the time being.

Let's film this sci-fi thriller TV series first!
This news was a complete shock to director David Fincher.

He had promised himself that he was the best Netflix director in Lu Zhiyuan's mind.

What's going on now?
Just because he didn't want to take on Nazha, this little good-for-nothing, to film a spin-off of the "Real Steel" series, did his love for Lu Zhiyuan simply disappear?
Is he going to lose his title as Netflix's top director?
Netflix has signed cooperation agreements with many directors' studios.

When these directors aren't making movies, they can help Netflix produce TV series, with Netflix providing the scripts and funding.

These directors can fully unleash their talents.

This model is absolutely fantastic for these film directors.

They get paid, don't have to worry about box office performance, and after filming, Netflix can produce and sell its own content without any competitors.

Their competitors are other directors signed with Netflix.

Therefore, after David Fincher rejected Lu Zhiyuan's attempt to recruit him, Lu Zhiyuan chose to take drastic measures and cultivate several promising young directors who were willing to align themselves with him.

The Duffy brothers were the replacement he chose!

These two brothers have no connections in Hollywood or on Netflix.

At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan gave their project an S-level rating and wrote a letter of recommendation to Netflix management, hoping to increase the budget and attention given to the Stranger Things project.

For the two brothers, this was like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.

If the practice of worshipping godfathers existed in North America, they would be bringing two roast chickens to find Lu Zhiyuan right now.

"I'm not good at the road."

"I admit that I seem to be showing some signs of menopause lately, and I've become a bit irritable, which may have unintentionally hurt our relationship."

"But you can't do that."

Is it because he was unwilling to bring Gulnazar along to film the spin-off of "Real Steel" that Lu Zhiyuan chose to support a newcomer?

Is this appropriate?

The first season of the "Real Steel" spin-off series nearly broke the subscription data of "House of Cards," accumulating tens of millions of users for Lu Zhiyuan's "Real Steel 4" super movie.

He helped Lu Zhiyuan make Liu Shishi famous.

Doesn't this prove the friendship between him and Lu Zhiyuan?
“David, we are good friends, there’s no doubt about that.”

"However, friendship is friendship, and work is work."

"I hope you can understand this point."

Lu Zhiyuan was almost in tears when he saw David Fincher, but he smiled calmly and composedly.

"I have never admired anyone. Even James Cameron, in my eyes, is just a lucky guy who almost drove the producers into bankruptcy."

"But I have to admit, you're a cunning fellow."

David Fincher heard about something from someone, though he didn't know who.

Never reject any of Lu Zhiyuan's attempts to be friendly.

Because if someone rejects Lu Zhiyuan's Plan A, it means that Lu Zhiyuan will activate Plan B, which he is generally unwilling to withdraw from.

The destructive power of Plan B is extraordinary.

Because Plan A is essentially Lu Zhiyuan's conventional weapon; if he can solve the problem with conventional weapons, he won't resort to lethal weapons.

Lu Zhiyuan's Plan B usually results in one party suffering significant harm.

Moreover, it's the kind of suffering that can't be expressed.

Director David Fincher used to be skeptical, but now he hopes Lu Zhiyuan will take back Plan B.

He was willing to be Lu Zhiyuan's eternal Plan A.

"Thank you, David. I knew it. Given our friendship, I knew you wouldn't refuse if I asked you for a small favor—to help me train my leading lady's acting skills. Someone must be sabotaging this."

Lu Zhiyuan even came up with a reason for David Fincher's direction.

“Yes, of course. Our bond is stronger than the fists of the Qin Palace Guards. It was my assistant, Tony, who misunderstood your thoughts. When we get back, I’ll deduct a month’s bonus from his paycheck as punishment.”

Director David Fincher breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Lu Zhiyuan was willing to retract his ultimate move.

"Nazha, come here for a moment."

After securing director David Fincher's approval, Lu Zhiyuan summoned Gulnazar, who had been prepared beforehand.

"Nazha, say hello to our Netflix chief director. He'll be adding an important role for you in the second season spin-off of 'Real Steel'."

Lu Zhiyuan picked up his wine glass, lightly clinked it with director David Fincher's, and said with a smile, "David, I don't think it's necessary to start 'Mindhunter'. You should focus more on the 'Real Steel' series."

Director David Fincher nodded dejectedly.

He simply doesn't have the energy to produce two TV series.

Because he encountered a troubling matter.

He has a new film project called "The Killer," which requires an investment of over $1.5 million, but no one is willing to invest.

At this moment, director David Fincher looked longingly at Lu Zhiyuan, hoping that his YD Films would invest some money in him.

But soon, director David Fincher realized that YD Pictures only invested in Lu Zhiyuan's own films.

And it has to be a box office smash.

Clearly, "The Killer" doesn't fit the bill.

It seems he still has to cling to Netflix and try to swindle some money from them for film production.

Now the problem has come full circle.

To secure funding for film production from Netflix, approval must be obtained from the board's project investment review committee.

Although Lu Zhiyuan is not a member of the board of directors, he has a huge influence over every director.

In short, Lu Zhiyuan has his back all against him!
