Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 173: Damn! Xiao Liu has turned evil!

The two equity transfer contracts are identical, so all you need to do is change the numbers and the parties involved.

Lu Kuan and Liu Zeyu made the transaction calmly and reached a deal.

Boss Lu sighed deeply, it’s really not easy.

I haven't acted in a long time. If this performance is made into a movie, how can it not get an Oscar nomination?

The young yamenei was naturally delighted. He used the money he had used to cheat Cheng Jingfei to buy shares in Hongxingwu, and also got both money and people from Concubine Liu Yi.

Even with Liu Yifei's development in the film and television industry, and with the help of Huayi, she will create greater profits for herself!

It is a short-sighted person like Lu Kuan who would liquidate and exit for a mere 3000 million. What a fool.

"How about it, Director Lu, let's have dinner together tonight?"

"Although you're no longer from our Red Star Wood, we're still old acquaintances. Maybe Yi Fei can even appear in one of your movies in the future?"

Boss Lu has asked Sun Wenwen to take the check to the nearest bank to ensure that it can be cashed.

It was not until he received a message on his mobile phone that he started to think about slapping the young yamen in the face.

The check is valid for ten days, and Sun Wenwen is already going through the formalities. Besides, it is written in black and white, so he is not afraid that the young master will go back on his word.

"You are Red Star Wood?"

"Let me count. How many people are left in your Red Star Wu?"

Lu Kuan stood up in a pretentious manner.

"I'm out."

"Mr. Cheng, you're out."

"Lao Zhang, you count as one."

"Aunt Liu, you count as one too."

"Xiao Liu..."

Boss Lu walked up to Liu Yifei and patted her on the shoulder.

The little girl turned her face away and ignored him, her body turned to the other side with a frosty look on her pretty face.

Haha, a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough and turned around and walked back to Liu Zeyu.

"Young Master Liu, it seems like there are only three people left in your Red Star Village?"

Liu Zeyu's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He had seen Lu Kuan's evil face too many times.

At Eagle King headquarters, at the wrap-up banquet for “The Drummer”…

Why didn't he include Consort Liu Yi? What backup plan did he have?
Liu Xiaoli has been taken down, what more can Liu Yifei do?

"Just tell me what you mean. No one has time for charades."

Boss Lu extended his hand to the bodyguard standing behind him: "A Fei, give me the contract."

Yang Siwei looked at him in surprise as he took out two manuscripts from his briefcase, opened the first page, and placed them on the conference table.

The situation reversed and everyone looked over.

The first one: "Statement Regarding Ms. Liu Yifei's Application for Retroactive Recognition of the Invalidity of the Red Star Wu Agency Contract"

Second document: "Regarding Wenjie Culture Media's offer for a brokerage contract with Ms. Liu Yifei"

Liu Zeyu was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up!

"You're dreaming! Liu Yifei is a minor, and the civil contract was signed by her guardian, Aunt Liu, and it's already effective in black and white!"

"And I've already asked Huayi to prepare the next two films for her, working with Stephen Chow and Andy Lau. Why would they go back on their word?"

The young master became more and more confident as he spoke.

"Even if Aunt Liu changes her mind, the contract has already taken effect. Isn't it too late for you to take out this garbage now?"

Lu Kuan smiled as he watched him trying to smooth things over. Without saying a word, he picked up the two contracts and walked over to Liu Yifei.

The little girl was still angry and ignored him with her arms crossed, but she couldn't help but look at the contents of the contract.

The ice and snow in my heart gradually melted...

"Liu Yifei is indeed under 18 years old, a minor with limited civil capacity, and cannot independently participate in the signing of civil contracts."

"However, the General Provisions of the Civil Law also stipulates that minors who are at least 16 years old but under 18 years old and whose main source of income is their own labor can be regarded as persons with full civil capacity."

"That is to say, even if Ms. Liu signed a new contract with a 4300 million yuan penalty in her name yesterday, Liu Yifei, who turned 16 today, can apply to the court herself to have the aforementioned contract declared invalid!"

This type of precedent is often used when a guardian squanders the property of a minor. The minor, after turning 16 and meeting the requirements, can seek legal action in court.

"Little Yanei, why did you choose any other day to hold the board meeting? Why did you have to choose today?"

"Xiao Liu has turned 16 today and can now file a retroactive application to revoke the new agency contract Ms. Liu Xiaoli signed for her yesterday."

Boss Lu picked up the contract offer from Wenjie and handed it to Liu Yifei.

"Xiao Liu, as the chairman of Wenjie Media, I formally recommend that you withdraw from Red Star Studio and invite you to join Wenjie. Wenjie will cover the 500 million yuan liquidated damages in your original contract."

Lu Kuan: It’s Liu Zeyu’s money anyway.

Liu Zeyu: Actually it was Cheng Jingfei’s money.

Cheng Jingfei: I fuck your horse!

As he spoke, he turned around and smiled at Liu Zeyu: "Thank you! You deserve half of the military medal!"

Liu Zeyu was furious and rushed to Liu Xiaoli in a panic: "Aunt Liu! Liu Xiaoli! We agreed!"

"Hurry up and persuade Concubine Yi. Huayi has already reserved roles for her in these two films!"

"I will definitely let her become one of the top female stars in China!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled awkwardly and shook her head at Liu Zeyu apologetically.

sorry...

He gave too much.

He gave Sissi a contract to play the leading role in a Hollywood co-production with a total investment of 7000 million US dollars!
That's Hollywood!

Is the combined budget of your two films more than half of theirs...

Liu Zeyu took a deep breath and fell into the chair with a grim face.

Cheng Jingfei and Zhang Jizhong were afraid that something might happen to him, so they hurried over to support him.

To him, the concerned looks in their eyes seemed to carry a hint of pity...

Liu Zeyu could no longer bear this humiliation and left the meeting room without looking back.

This scene seems familiar.

Perhaps Young Master Liu would wake up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, thinking back on everything that happened today, and would angrily say:
A crime other than war!

He thought that Lu Kuan would cut off the source of the problem and that Concubine Liu Yi might resist, so he informed Liu Xiaoli in advance.

She was locked in with these two film contracts that would make any female star in today's entertainment industry crazy.

But how could he have imagined that Lu Kuan would have a $7000 million Hollywood co-production project?
In other words, in the entire domestic entertainment industry, apart from Liu Xiaoli and Dong Shuangqiang who got a little wind of the story, even Han Shanping didn't know the details.

For Lu Kuan, this co-production is a purely commercial film with special effects. The female lead is equivalent to the supporting actress, and the box office revenue mainly depends on Hollywood male stars.

Concubine Liu Yi is younger than her character, but she is tall and her youthful appearance can be solved with makeup, so these are minor problems.

The key is whether her current acting skills are up to the standard for this role?

This is the main problem, but in order to cut off the source of the problem and trick Liu Xiaoli, who is waiting for the right price, we can only take temporary measures.

Cheng Jingfei and Zhang Jizhong followed Liu Zeyu out, leaving only Lu Kuan, Liu Yifei and her daughter in the meeting room.

Boss Lu took out an English script from his bag like magic.

"Xiao Liu, happy birthday! You helped me earn 3000 million. This is your commission."

"Read the script carefully and study the character. This role is not difficult."

Liu Xiaoli also patted her daughter's arm and told her not to act so capriciously anymore.

She had already signed a draft performance contract for "Foreign Land" with Lu Kuan.

But Lu Kuan also said in advance that if her acting skills really did not meet the passing line, the industry would have no choice but to provide her with other resources.

Given that Concubine Liu Yi has had a smooth career this year, Lu Kuan's words are highly trusted by her.

Otherwise, with the two film contracts from Liu Zeyu and Wang Xiaolei in front of her, she had to admit that she was really tempted.

Pick any one of them, and they are all projects that domestic female stars are fighting for, right?

Boss Lu found it a little funny as he watched her flipping through the two contracts for a long time without saying anything.

Why are you so angry this time?

Concubine Liu Yi raised her head calmly.

"Lu Kuan, you always say that Liu Zeyu is happy too early, but aren't you happy too early too?"

Everyone's expression seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Since becoming famous, A Fei, Yang Siwei, and even Liu Xiaoli have never heard anyone speak to Lu Kuan like this.

What’s more, the person who said this was Concubine Liu Yi?
This innocent, natural ally with a broad path?

Boss Lu frowned, but still smiled and asked, "Are you still angry?"

Liu Yifei chuckled and looked at him with burning eyes. "I will definitely withdraw from Hongxingwu. You don't need to pay the penalty. I can afford it myself."

"But I don't want Wenjie's contract either. Please take it back."

Liu Xiaoli said anxiously: "Xixi! Stop talking nonsense!"

Yang Siwei also came over. She even wanted to touch Liu Yifei's head to see if her brain was burned out.

She has been Liu Yifei's agent and personal assistant for almost a year.
Yang Siwei might know better than Liu Xiaoli what the little girl feels about Lu Kuan.

What stimulated this?
Lu Kuan couldn't laugh anymore.

"You guys go out first, I have something to say to Lu Kuan."

The remaining three people looked at each other and could only retreat outside the meeting room.

"Xiao Liu, a man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. You've only been here half a year, and you seem to have matured a lot?"

"Thanks to you."

Boss Lu's mouth twitched. The damn plot was wrong!

"Xiao Liu, everything you said the day before yesterday was a lie. It was all to lure Cheng Jingfei and Liu Zeyu..."

Concubine Liu Yi walked straight up to him and stared into Lu Kuan's eyes.

"What you said that day was the truth, but what you want to say now is a lie, right?"

Looking into the eyes of Concubine Liu Yi's eyes at such a close distance, Lu Kuan wanted to deny it outright, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

She knows too much about herself.

Almost every time he coaxes a female star or deceives his opponent;

The little girl saw everything, both good and bad, and perhaps even learned it from her brain...

This feeling is absurd, and it feels like Lu Kuan is shooting himself in the foot.

This is a wrong way of raising children!
Boss Lu thought about it carefully.

Now it seems that he and Liu Xiaoli have signed a $7000 million acting contract for a Hollywood blockbuster;
Then he helped Concubine Liu Yi escape from the sea of suffering in Hongxingwu;
Then she suddenly announced that she no longer wanted to sign with Wenjie and wanted to go it alone?!

Isn't this my routine?

Are you really Murong Fu's cousin? Do you also know the art of changing the times?

Xiao Liu, why did you turn evil?!
Concubine Liu Yi suddenly smiled, and she also experienced the pleasure that Lu Kuan felt in fooling others.

"Do you feel like I've deceived you? Do you regret giving me this role?"

"Do you think I look like Dong Jie now?"

Lu Kuan looked at her expressionlessly.

Naturally, he was not inclined to believe that Concubine Liu Yi could have such a scheming mind.

But after being influenced by it for so long, maybe it’s true...

He always uses the greatest malice to speculate about others in order to calculate and predict their next move.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows and said, "Lu Kuan, put away your dirty thoughts. Not everyone is like you. I am not that shameless."

She slammed the script on the desk and said, "Give it back to you."

It was the table that fell, and it was Boss Lu who was hit in the face.

"I know you're a very smart person. They all call you a little fairy, as if nothing can be hidden from you."

"I admit that I have a slight crush on you."

"But that doesn't mean I'll be treated like those women and let them do whatever they want. If you want to treat me like that, you're blind."

"I would rather not act, not be famous, and give up everything I have now than make a deal like that with you!"

Lu Kuan raised his head innocently: "Deal? What deal?"

Concubine Liu Yi ignored him and said nothing.

It’s a pity that such obvious scrutiny is far from enough to make the shameless young director surrender and confess.

Confess to be lenient, sit in prison, resist strictness, and go home for the New Year.

Concubine Liu Yi sneered: "What kind of deal? Do I need to remind you?"

"Fan Bingbing's deal with you, Jia Jingwen's deal with you, and even the deal with you that was almost done, Jiang Yiyan's deal with you!"

Fortunately, fortunately, she didn’t know Yu Feihong.

"Stop pretending. You didn't even hide from people when you did something bad. You think I'm only a teenager and don't know anything, right?"

"Yu Dong took Tong Liya to the Ice House Palace. Why did she stay until the end?"

Damn it, you are really wronging me!

Lu Kuan was stunned: "Liu Yifei! How can you slander someone out of thin air!"

"Did I slander you?"

"What Zhuo Wei said is absolutely right. Eight out of ten actresses who have worked with you cannot escape your clutches."

"The remaining two are old and young. One is Aunt Rong, and the other is me!"

Zhuo Wei, you bastard!

Boss Lu sighed to the sky, feeling sad as if he was being verbally abused but had no way to refute it.

Seeing him lose his guard, Concubine Liu Yi wanted to laugh, but she quickly put on a serious face.

"Well, Princess Yi, please listen to my explanation (cover-up)!"

"I'm still young! I'm only in my early twenties. If a young person makes a mistake, it's not necessarily their own fault. You see, the social environment and the family of origin all have an impact, right?"

"This society always gives young people the opportunity to make mistakes, right? Haha."

Liu Yifei ignored him and said, "Stop talking. I won't sign a contract with Wenjie. I want to set up my own studio."

"I admit that I have come this far because you taught me acting, took me to film festivals, and gave me outstanding roles."

"I'm not taking advantage of you. Don't you always say equal exchange?"

"Okay then. From today until the day I turn 18, I'll sign a two-year contract with you. You can arrange all endorsements, film remuneration, and commercial performances, and all the profits will belong to you. Is that okay?"

"Besides, I also contributed to the 3000 million you cheated Liu Zeyu out of today!"

It was absurd, too absurd. Lu Kuan felt like he was divorcing his wife and dividing the property.

He was at a loss for words: "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to find your mother!"

Lu Kuan made a move to stand up and leave, but was pushed back onto the chair by Concubine Liu Yi.

It's quite strong, no wonder it can eat so much.

"It's no use looking for her. You taught me. I'm 16 years old now and can still make a living through my own labor. I can make my own decisions!"

"I see clearly. The reason those women are at your mercy is because you can control their resources, right?"

"I remember you said something when you were having dinner in the courtyard that day."

"If you fight for peace, then peace will prevail. If you don't have the strength, you will sooner or later become a dispensable character."

"Lu Kuan, this is what you taught me, thank you."

After saying this, Liu Yifei turned and left, leaving Boss Lu stunned.

The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the three people looked at each other in confusion and quickly made way.

Ah Fei went into the house and Liu Xiaoli went after her daughter.

Yang Siwei was a little confused and embarrassed...

She heard the boss's furious scolding of Ah Fei for his incompetence in the conference room, which made her feel a little scared.

This was probably a revenge for the day when he failed to stop Concubine Liu Yi, allowing her to break in and see his true identity.

The room became a little quieter, and Ah Fei walked out with a dejected look on his face.

"Sister Siwei, the boss wants you to come in."

The conference room was filled with smoke, and Yang Siwei had no idea how many cigarettes Boss Lu had smoked in less than ten minutes.

"Thinking, you should resign."

Yang Siwei was stunned: "Huh?"

Because I stepped into the meeting room with my left foot first?

"What? You're smart, so follow Xiao Liu to the new company. Report to me if anything happens."

"Oh!"
