Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

Chapter 95 "Remaining Sins" - Investment Encounters a Cold Reception

The play ended, and everyone looked satisfied.

However, Lin Yu was not hired on the spot.

Instead, Su Youpeng patiently selected two more scenes for Lin Yu to try out.

One scene showcases Xu Yi's rebellious spirit, while the other depicts his later decline and fall from grace.

Lin Yu continued to give it his all, easily garnering two more rounds of applause from the crowd.

Some are happy, some are sad.

The meeting room erupted in applause, but Yang Yang, standing outside the meeting room door, looked rather grim.

He was even considering turning around and leaving.

It's not that he had a bad attitude; after all, thunderous applause would erupt every now and then, and anyone would have a hard time keeping their composure!

Soon, the meeting room door was opened.

Lin Yu quickly and calmly walked out from inside. Upon seeing the person who came out, Yang Yang's expression immediately turned somewhat ugly.

To be honest, he knew Lin Yu, and his impression of him was quite profound.

The reason is simple: the first major obstacle that his company's web series project, "The Lost Tomb," wants to overcome is "The Pendulum," which is currently hailed as the benchmark for web series!

He had heard Lin Yu's name in project meetings more than once!

Lin Yu's other project, "Gu Jian Qi Tan," is an even bigger project for his company. As Yang Yang, who recently switched to Huanrui, he has naturally seen it as well!

Therefore, he was fully aware of Lin Yu's acting skills!

Why would I compete with him for a role? What's going on here?

Besides, their fan bases are on completely different levels these days!

It's worth noting that Yang Yang currently has less than a million followers on Weibo!

How can he compare to Lin Yu?

As Lin Yu stepped out of the conference room, he saw Yang Yang standing at the door. He paused for a moment, then smiled amicably and let the staff lead him away from the fiber optic building.

After saying goodbye to the main cast and crew of "The Left Ear," Lin Yu quickly took a company car and drove Yang Chaoyue to a residential building near the Beijing Film Academy.

As Ma Xiaojing, dressed in a formal suit, opened the car door with a man in tow, Lin Yu was momentarily confused.

After the two got into the car, Ma Xiaojing introduced them: "This is Shao Jie, also from the Literature Department of Beijing Film Academy."

"I had him polish the script for your 'Yu Zui' series. Bringing him to this summit will also make it easier to attract investment."

"Hello, hello, my name is Lin Yu." Lin Yu didn't presume and spoke quickly, while extending his hand to shake hands with him.

Shao Jie quickly spoke up and shook hands with Lin Yu.

Kunlun Restaurant.

When Lin Yu and the others got out of the car, Yang Chaoyue stared blankly at its magnificent exterior.

As the first five-star hotel in China to be designed and built independently, its scale is considerable!

After handing the relevant invitation to the waiter, the group quickly went inside.

To be honest, given Lin Yu's status as an artist, he was completely unqualified to attend this summit.

But he has a great teacher!

This time, he infiltrated the company as a screenwriter and investor!

Following the directions, he quickly found a seat in the lobby.

As the first online drama summit in China, the guests in attendance were far more than just a few.

The founder and vice president of Kiwi were all present.

President of Fiber Optics, President of Huanrui, Founder of Huanyu, and so on.

Without a doubt, almost all the influential entertainment company owners in China are among them!

Even the owner of Yuanmei World, the investor behind Yuanmei Jianxin, is among them!

Standing at the back of the venue, Lin Yu watched the group of people chatting in groups, a slight smile playing on his lips, his heart filled with excitement.

Compared to these people, his value as a barely second-tier star is truly worthy of the phrase "standing like a lackey"!

As everyone gradually arrived, the atmosphere calmed down.

Soon after, the current CCO of Kiwi, Ma Dong, took the stage to begin his opening speech.

As Lin Yu watched from below, the excitement in his heart gradually subsided.

As Ma Dong said on stage, everything for web series has just begun, and so has his own path of development!

Project leaders took turns giving speeches, and following the program schedule, Lin Yu also stepped firmly onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Yu." As Lin Yu stepped onto the stage, many people frowned.

Obviously, those who don't know him will find him unfamiliar, while those who do know him will find it hard to understand why he would be here.

Sun Yonghuan, sitting in the audience, tilted his head slightly in surprise.

"I know everyone is a little surprised by my appearance. Indeed, my profession is that of an entertainer and actor, and I shouldn't be here..."

Lin Yu's tone was relaxed, yet firm.

Yang Chaoyue sat in the audience, her palms already covered in sweat without her realizing it.

The boss is really amazing... She saw it all just now; most of the other people's speeches were not as good as Lin Yu's!

Moreover, after Lin Yu's introduction, she roughly knew what kind of place this was.

Honestly, if she were to give a speech in front of these billionaire bosses, she would probably burst into tears as soon as she stepped onto the stage!

"In short, this is the project I'm presenting to you all. If any of you are interested in learning more about the specific story of 'Yu Zui,' you are welcome to come and discuss it at the cocktail party later."

As he finished his last sentence, a round of friendly applause rang out from the audience.

The numbers were sparse, but they did contain a certain degree of encouragement.

Although Lin Yu's speech was very emotional and indeed quite good, the topic itself was rather ordinary.

Take a look at the labels on the script of "Yu Zui".

Violence, pornography, and even crime.

This thing doesn't look like anything good at all!

As expected, at the subsequent party, "Yu Zui" was met with a cold reception, except for Dai Ying symbolically collecting some scripts.

Other investors were all gathered around several popular scripts.

For example, "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

It wasn't that no one came; rather, people came to chat for a bit and then left.

Yang Chaoyue stood next to Lin Yu, holding her favorite small cake in her left hand, and said somewhat indignantly, "These bosses don't have much taste. They can't even see such a good script."

She spoke in a low voice, and only Ma Xiaojing, who was standing nearby with Lin Yu, could hear what she said.

Ma Xiaojing chuckled. In fact, she hadn't been very optimistic about the script Lin Yu had sent her from the beginning.

However, she eventually agreed to come out of seclusion to help Lin Yu.

On the one hand, Lin Yu is doing too well these days, and as his teacher, she naturally can't suppress him. It's good to let him do a failed project, so he can learn a lesson by spending money.

He's still young; at worst, he'll just lose a small portion of his investment.

With her as a backer, at least there will be no shortage of film projects, and the money lost can always be earned back.

On the other hand, there is also a bit of wishful thinking. At least this "Yu Zui" doesn't have any major flaws in terms of plot. On the contrary, the whole plot is very enjoyable!

Lin Yu glanced around at everyone in the room, not discouraged at all, but instead chuckled and said, "It's alright, as long as Kiwi received the script, that's all that matters."

Despite not being able to secure other external investment, he still had some confidence in kiwifruit!

At worst, we can just form a joint venture with iQiyi. Although there is a large funding gap, there is always a way. If all else fails, we can ask our former employer if they are interested!

Just as everyone was thinking of leaving the party, a familiar voice suddenly called out to them.

"Wait a moment."
