Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 248: Passion and Showdown after the Golden Ball
The live broadcast data of Wenjie Video's first show continued to update. After the red carpet ceremony, the number of online users stabilized at around 420 million.

The full name of the Golden Globe Awards is the Golden Globe Awards for Television and Film. On the screen, the TV part of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony has just ended.

As mentioned earlier, the Golden Globe Awards is a big party compared to the Oscars.

But precisely because of its fun and entertainment, it is more suitable than the Oscars as the debut program for the Q&A video.

For example, Scarlett Johansson, the blonde and busty actress on the screen now, was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress last year for her role in "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and appeared on the stage as an award presenter this year.

When entering the backstage, the live broadcast team of Wenjie Video did not obtain authorization and could only quote the official director's signal on the scene.

However, the official also understands the audience very well, and the figure of Black Widow frequently appears in the film.

(Report to the readers: There were pictures here originally, but she is too big, and the slightly exposed pictures are considered vulgar and will not be uploaded. Please help yourself.)
This is simply a barrage detonator, more eye-catching and topical than Liu Yifei just now, but she is not very well-known in China now.

"Who is this? A top gun mount!"

"I want all the information about this blonde girl within 5 minutes!"

"Fact check: Scarlett Johansson, height 165cm, bust 32 inches, waist 24 inches, hips 35 inches."

"Thank you, Mr. Science Popularizer, may good people live a peaceful life."

"Mr. Science Popularizer, do you have any resources? Can I borrow one to talk to you?"

"Get lost, I'm not going into the sea."

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held in the form of a dinner, which means people eat and have fun at the same time, or how can you say it is a big party.

The guests were seated according to the arrangements of the organizing committee, and the seating arrangement was very particular.

Just like all other major film festivals, the more nominated for important awards, the more likely and likely to win, the closer the seats are to the front, and celebrity status and fame are secondary factors.

For example, Amanba, the director of this year's hit "The Big Sleep," was placed at table 4;

Tom Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman was relegated to table 18 because her film "Born to Die" was rather mediocre this year.

Domestic netizens waited for a long time before they saw the "Foreign Land" combination of three herbs and one flower appear at table 54, which is a middle position facing the stage and also a favorable position.

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi sat relatively at the back, sitting together with the cast of "The Chorus".

Judging from their position, even if they won the award, it would take several minutes to walk to the stage, so they were obviously not very optimistic.

On the stage, Scarlett and McGregor co-hosted the show, and the official director gave the address to the guests sitting in the front seats.

"Hey, Liu Yifei is still too young. Look at Scarlett's two big ones."

"Nonsense, Scarlett is several years older than Liu Yifei, and she hasn't even grown yet!"

"I think it's terrible! Look at Scarlett's big hips, she's obviously good at giving birth!"

Xiao Liu listened to Boss Lu and Xiao Lizi laughingly commenting on the beauties, and suddenly asked, "Do you all like girls with plump figures like Scarlett?"

This question was asked in English. Leo gave his wolf friend Lu Kuan a look that indicated there was going to be something interesting to watch, and took a sip of champagne with a smile.

Boss Lu took the initiative and said, "Xiao Liu, don't you know that Leo has a quirk? He only looks at age when looking for a girlfriend. He won't date anyone over 25."

The average age of Leonardo's later girlfriends was 22 years old, and only one was over 25 years old.

This is the red warning line. If you cross it, you will be punished.

But in his heart, his wolf friend Lu Kuan is the same kind of person as himself.

When he was dating the international supermodel Gisele Bundchen, she was 19 years old, the youngest girl he had ever been with.

The Crystal in front of you, Lu Kuan, is only 18 years old this year!

Lu Kuan successfully shifted the focus and diverted the blame.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at Leonardo with disdain.

What a coincidence, you are also a scumbag?

Leonardo felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze and denied it flatly: "Bullshit!"

"Lu is completely slanderous. Gisele is 24 years old now and we are engaged."

The few of them worked together on promotions for half a month, and Liu Yifei met Gisele Bundchen.

Boss Lu chuckled in his heart and said, we’ll divide the profits next year, guaranteed.

However, this was the only one to whom he took the initiative to propose and get engaged, and the ones who came after him didn't even receive this treatment.

Little Leo was very vengeful: "Crystal, I heard that Lu gave you an RV?"

When he said this, his eyes were looking at Lu Kuan, and his intention was self-evident.

"Yeah! How did you know? Did Lu Kuan say that?"

Concubine Liu Yi likes this topic.

"Oh, yes, I envy you. You know, Lu has never given anything to an American friend like me."

Boss Lu heard the blackmail in his words and decisively took over the conversation.

"Leo, I'm planning to film a food show in China. Are you interested? I can take you to eat any Chinese food you want."

Leonardo smiled slyly: "The food is good, but I want to see if you have a role that suits me."

Boss Lu said with a sincere expression, as sincere as a US president taking office according to the Bible: "I promise, we will work together again soon."

"Very good, I accept your invitation."

Little Leo turned to the bewildered Liu Yifei and said, "Lu is an honest man, Crystal. I think if you want to find a boyfriend, you can consider him."

The little girl didn't understand what the two people were talking about, and her pretty face turned slightly red when she heard it.

When I turned around, I saw Boss Lu looking at me with a smile (lustful look).

Is it that easy?

As they spoke, Scarlett Johansson and McGregor began presenting the Best Foreign Language Film award, with clips from the five nominated films appearing on the screen.

The on-site director gave a close-up of the nominated guests, and fans of Wenjie Video were able to see the two mainland crews again.

In addition to "Alien Land" and "House of Flying Daggers", the other three competitors are "Deep Sea Sleep", "The Chorus" and "The Motorcycle Diaries".

The order in which the clips are played is also very intriguing. "Foreign Land" is placed last, which seems to have a bit of a finale meaning.

Liu Yifei's palms were almost sweating, and so were the audience in front of the screen.

This kind of award ceremony has to be broadcast live. What the hell is the recorded broadcast on the movie channel? It's not exciting at all.

But this really can't be blamed on the official channels. There are many foul-mouthed people in Hollywood right now. In order to show their superiority, they often comment on our internal issues when they come on stage.

The movie channel must cut this part.

Even the live broadcast of the Q&A video is delayed by 5 minutes to deal with such special circumstances.

There was a slight lag in the backend of Wenjie, so Liu Hong communicated with the support team sent by Blog.com and received a smooth response.

The reason for the lag is that there are too many barrages!

This is a feature that Mike Solomon did not consider when he designed it.

America's Mytube will be online for promotion during the Oscars live broadcast, so this patch can be applied in advance.

The entire audience looked at Scarlett Johansson with anticipation, and one Chinese actress at the scene was even more nervous than Liu Yifei.

Zhang Ziyi.

She felt she couldn't be hurt any more.

Or rather, she herself didn't understand why the movie "Alien Land" pushed her to this point.

When the eight actresses of "Foreign Land" auditioned, she looked down on Liu Yifei.

None of the latter's lines, acting skills, and on-the-spot ability can match his own.

Apart from the fighting scenes, it's just passable.

But what about now? Not to mention her popularity in China, even if that was due to the marketing Lu Kuan did for her.

But if "Alien Land" really wins the Golden Globe Award or the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, she will really soar to the sky and be as successful as she was back then!

Didn’t Zhang Ziyi become famous and have her current status in the domestic entertainment industry because she won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

Before she could catch up with Gong Li in front of her, she found that she was almost pulled down by Liu Yifei, who was much younger than her.

Zhang Ziyi couldn't accept this reality.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Scarlett Johansson looked towards table 54, which was directly opposite the stage. There was a handsome Leonardo DiCaprio there, which was very easy to spot.

The director's camera was also aimed at this table, and the language of the lens explained everything.

"'Foreign Land', Road!"

Boss Lu stood up slowly and hugged Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, and finally Xiao Liu.

He clasped his hands together and saluted Lao Mouzi, who was smiling and applauding, from across several tables, before walking onto the stage.

“The washing machine is awesome!”

"Why are you hugging me again? Can you stop hugging Sissi? You beast!"

"How many times have I seen you hug each other in the past few months? Where did you learn this bad habit? Chinese people can't shake hands!"

"Golden Rooster Award, Golden Rooster Award, Golden Globe Award, Golden Rooster Award, Oscar Award, Golden Globe Award, Oscar Award..."

The barrage of comments flew by quickly, filled with curses.

Unfortunately, before he could finish scolding her, Boss Lu hugged Scarlett Johansson again.

"Beast! Damn it!"

"Washing machine, there will be two big holes on the chest of your suit in a while."

Lu Kuan did feel some pressure on his chest, but based on his experience, it shouldn't be caused by technology.

Okay, okay, I like the original style.

"I'm very happy to receive this award. I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for recognizing the film. I'd also like to thank all the cast and crew. Thank you!"

The speech was simple because there was really nothing to get excited about.

The Golden Globe Awards are not really that prestigious, they are just well-known.

Well, it’s good that he won it. At least Oscar can jump and try to reach it.

Soon, the award ceremony is over. Generally speaking, the winning teams and the six major cities will hold a cocktail party for their winning films to increase their influence.

Leonardo came over with a man of medium build and gray hair.

"Lu, let me introduce you to Martin Scorsese."

Lu Kuan smiled and extended his hand: "Finally we meet, Mr. Scorsese."

Martin Scorsese was a director he loved very much in his previous life, and he was known as a film sociologist.

Perhaps because of his immigrant background and humble beginnings, Martin Scorsese is very good at analyzing the ills of society and human nature through the language of the lens.

The themes and elements of his films are mostly gangs, violence, and crime, and are also imbued with a lingering religious atmosphere, which is very unique.

In the late 60s, while Spielberg and Lucas, who were known as the "Four Great Genius Directors" together with him, were relying on huge investments and special effects technology to attract audiences and win Oscars, he still insisted on his own film fables, which was very rare.

“Lu, I saw Impressionism and Van Gogh in your movies.”

Martin Scorsese is a movie fanatic, so I started chatting with him without any politeness.

Liu Yifei watched the two people communicating from the side and inexplicably felt that there was a mysterious aura between them, the aura between artists.

She glanced at Leonardo, who gave her a wry smile and spread his hands, meaning, "I'm used to it."

Lu Kuan knew that he was talking about the ending of Foreign Land, where the final scene composition was from Van Gogh's "Starry Night over the Rhone".

Back in Vogue, Galliano also explained the reason at a glance. It can only be said that all art is interconnected.

"Yes, I like Impressionism. The Impressionists' play with light and shadow gave me a lot of inspiration for my lens language and color usage."

Martin Scorsese laughed out loud: "That's a good word to use. You are a special young man."

Leonardo interjected: "Martin, you should watch his 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. It's so stunning, especially the overexposed parts of the backlight. It reminds me of Bonnard's 'Nude Against the Light'."

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is undergoing final special effects repairs in Los Angeles, and Harvey, Leonardo DiCaprio and others have seen it.

Harvey had already begged him to release his film in North America.

Xiao Liu was stunned. How come you, Leonardo, are so handsome but you also know these nonsense?

She could recognize the Impressionists such as Van Gogh, Bonnard and Renoir.

But I don’t understand!
So I'm the only drifter?

Liu Yifei felt that she should improve her art of papermaking, otherwise she would have no common topics with Lu Kuan in the future and would just be a vase.

The three of them were talking about the Impressionist school.

Renoir is a representative of French Impressionism, with a warm and cheerful style.

Just like the first third of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", Li Ming's experience of growing up and meeting the love of his life.

The style of this film's plot is similar to Renoir's.

Van Gogh is the representative of Post-Impressionism, a crazy expression of catharsis and passion, as well as reflection on life.

For example, in the final reflection on humanity and the environment in "Alien Land", Lu Kuan used lighting effects and picture layout similar to "Starry Night Over Ronald".

Bonnard is a representative of Neo-Impressionism and has the strongest ability to grasp colors. Zhang Yimou highly respects him.

A typical example is the passionate and unrestrained red in "Red Sorghum".

When Jiuer got married, she wore a red wedding dress and rode in a red sedan chair. She was sent to Shibalipu in a red atmosphere, full of vigorous vitality.

Martin was very interested: "You like Bernard?"

"Van Gogh is still my favorite. Bernard is a little too exaggerated for me."

The two made an appointment to have dinner together in a few days and talk about Lu Kuan’s new movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", and then said goodbye for the time being.

Liu Yifei looked at Leonardo dejectedly. So you are not a vase?
"Leo, you also know about Impressionism and fine art?"

Boss Lu scoffed, "His name is Leonardo, so he's obviously related to Da Vinci, right?"

"How can someone who is related to Leonardo da Vinci not understand art?"

Leonardo, as if you know me, said: "My mother felt the fetus move while visiting the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Italy and gave me this name."

“My biggest hobby is collecting Renaissance art.”

Boss Lu interrupted him: "One is missing."

"what?"

"You have two major collecting hobbies, Victoria's Secret Angels and art."

Leonardo laughed heartily, intuitively feeling that Mr. Lu was his soul mate, and the two of them walked away arm in arm.

Leaving Xiao Liu confused.

"Tsk! Birds of a feather, in cahoots with each other!"

Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Leonardo.

This is the first time a man's name appears in the Death Note.

After the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the news that Lu Boss won the Golden Globe Award for "Alien Land" spread quickly.

Mainstream domestic film print and internet media all published this news on their headlines, with most of the accompanying pictures showing Boss Lu holding up the Golden Globe trophy on stage.

The domestic literary and art circles can only hold back their anger no matter how dissatisfied they are, especially a famous director who likes to recite poetry.

His "Farewell My Concubine" was previously one of only two films to win a Golden Globe Award, the other being Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Well, now there is another young man in his twenties who can be on equal footing with me. That’s terrible!

In addition to the topic of the Golden Globe Awards, the three-hour live broadcast of Wenjie Video with almost no lag and unique barrage design also went viral!
Netizens who heard the news logged into the video website and found that it was full of everything!
"Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Zhu Xian", Ning Hao's "Crazy" series, and several previous films by Boss Lu.

A complete collection of Golden Harvest's classic old films!

Of course, there are other annual hits including "My Fair Princess", which were all purchased at low prices by Liu Hong through his own connections.

Take Leshi's way and leave Leshi with no way to go.

However, it is foreseeable that the emergence of Wenjie Video will inevitably lead to the emergence of countless copycat websites, and it will take some time to deal with them.

Because there is still some time before the copyright war begins.

The only advantage of Wenjie Video may be the architecture designed by the genius architect Mike Solomon. The lag problem alone is enough to make it repel most of its competitors.

There are also large-scale film and television series whose copyrights have been purchased in advance.

After the cocktail party, Ah Fei held his coat for him and the two walked towards the car.

"Lu, please wait."

Damn it?

Scarlett Johansson, the blonde with big boobs, called out to him.

Damn it.

There was a middle-aged man following behind.

"wait for me."

Lu Kuan let A Fei get in the car first and walked over to shake hands with the two men.

Scarlett Johansson giggled: "Luckily I shouted in time, otherwise you would have slipped away."

"Let me introduce you, this is French producer Emmanuelle."

"Hello, we met in Cannes last year, right?"

Emmanuelle smiled and said, "Yes, I attended the premiere of 'Outlander'."

"Look, Lu, this year at Cannes, the organizing committee decided to screen a short film consisting of 20 short stories called 'Paris, I Love You.'"

"These 20 short films represent the districts of Paris, and we plan to invite directors from around the world to participate."

"The Coen brothers and Assayas have already agreed. What do you think?"

Boss Lu smiled and said, "It's great to communicate with so many excellent directors. I wonder what the theme is?"

"Love, that's the word. Only love. The rest is up to you directors."

"Okay, I agree. Please send the detailed requirements to my email. Here is my contact information."

Lu Kuan handed over a business card. Emmanuel was very excited, as he had tricked another internationally renowned director into coming.

He is also an Eastern director who pays equal attention to artistic and commercial styles, which is rare.

Emmanuelle left with excitement, but Scarlett Johansson didn't intend to end the night like this.

"Lu, can you give me a ride?" Scarlett, who was 1.65 meters tall, approached leisurely. With the help of high heels, her fair skin made Boss Lu, who lowered his head, a little dazzled.

Which director can resist such temptation?
He took off his suit jacket very gentlemanly and put it on the blonde beauty, then turned and walked to the front of the car.

"Ah Fei, I'm going to have a long talk with Martin Scorsese about film art all night, you go back first."

"By the way, pay attention to counter-reconnaissance."

The young bodyguard gasped. Again?

Boss Lu excitedly got into Scarlett Johansson's car and went to her mansion in Los Angeles.

White girls just like to play it straight: "Lu, I'm very interested in you."

"why?"

"I saw multiple personalities in your movies."

Scarlett leaned sideways in the back seat like a fangirl: "The dark inspiration in "The Drummer", the ultimate reversal in "The Thief", and the humanistic thinking in "The Foreign Land."

"Oh my god, I think you must be a schizophrenic."

"How could such a focus, which is only considered by people of different ages, circumstances, and cultural backgrounds, appear in the mind of a young person in his twenties like you?"

Lu Kuan smiled and said, "You are only 21 years old, and you have made many films. You should know that life experience will automatically shape your personality."

Scarlett was born in 1984 in Manhattan, New York, to a middle-class family.

His mother is a film producer and his grandfather, a Danish screenwriter, is a writer.

By the beginning of 2005, Scarlett had been in the industry for 10 years, but before that she had only appeared on Broadway stages and in guest roles.

In 2003, Scarlett was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for her roles in "Lost in Translation" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

However, her career has stagnated in the past two years.

Last year she starred in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," and since then her roles have all been sexy action-packed female roles, which are quite boring. (Note 1)

Actors who come from middle-class American families, such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman, are very eager to prove themselves through art films and feature films.

As mentioned above, Leonardo DiCaprio was once resistant to Titanic, thinking it lacked substance and only allowed him to show his face.
In 2007, Nicole Kidman reduced her salary from $1500 million to $6000 to star in the art film "Margot at the Wedding."

Scarlett is the same, but she has a knot in her heart and is very distressed.

The two came to Scarlett's big house, and the latter took off her high heels and went to the bar to pour two glasses of whiskey.

"Lu, I think you can consider me for the movie Emmanuel just mentioned."

"I'm willing to play this kind of role even if I don't need any pay."

Only then did Boss Lu understand what Scarlett was planning.

Damn, I thought I was greedy for my own body!
"It seems that you are aware of your appearance disadvantages?"

Scarlett lifted her own daughter up openly, indicating how cumbersome the pair was, and then spread her hands helplessly.

“I absolutely hate David Fincher.”

"He openly said that I was too sexy, that the audience's first impulse when seeing me was to push me down, that I wouldn't think about the plot, and that I wasn't suitable for art films."

“Bull shit!”

She plopped down next to Lu Kuan and said, "Lu, you have box office success in Hollywood, the Golden Lion Award in Venice, and the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes."

"Tell me, can I act in art films?"

“I want to explore more with deeper characters!”

Boss Lu looked at the beautiful blonde girl staring at him closely and thought to himself, me too.

I also want to explore more in-depth characters!

"Well... As a man, I have to say, your sexual tension is too strong."

Durant wants to drink her bath water;

Hawkeye Jeremy admitted to the media that the most unforgettable Marvel moments were every scene with Scarlett Johansson;

Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. was also amazed that every time Scarlett Johansson entered the set, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Scarlett's sexiness is quite unique, and the most eye-catching thing is her two bright red lips.

Coupled with her natural blonde hair, she looks like a star from the golden age of Hollywood, combining both classical and modern beauty.

Scarlett was dissatisfied with his excuses, so she moved closer and pressed her hands directly on the Oriental director's legs.

"A man's perspective? I've heard too much of that. I want to hear the director's perspective?"

"I want to explore cinema. Do you want to... explore me?"

The blonde beauty bit her lip and moved closer, her upturned nose touching Lu Kuan, and her warm breath mixed with the scent of perfume hit his face.

Now that things have come to this, we’ll talk about it later.

The two film industry figures began a heated exchange on film art and the depth of the characters' thoughts.

To what extent should we dig to obtain the most perfect interpretation?
Director Lu believes that we should go to the end.

The feedback given by the new generation of American actresses was so passionate that it even disturbed the wild cats in the villa yard.

The communication between the two was very smooth and seamless.

Scarlett admired the young director's artistic talent very much, and even Martin Scorsese praised him highly.

She thought she could find a talented director outside of Hollywood to help her make the transition.

David Fincher, you old bastard, just wait for me. When Black Widow makes an art film and wins an award, I’ll pour the foot washing water on your head!

Durant: Don’t waste it, pour it into my mouth!

While discussing film art, the two people who are in the basketball country couldn't help but talk about this topic.

What surprised Scarlett was that this director from China was so proficient in dribbling skills.

Dribble with one hand, dribble with two hands, charge with the ball, dribble behind the back!
After talking all night until dawn, the two filmmakers finally reached an agreement.

Scarlett is very lucky that this is an all-round talented director.

In addition to his exploration of artistic depth, he also has a very good control over the time scale.

Satisfaction and contentment are the true reflections of Black Widow's physical and mental state at this moment.

As the sunrise in the east shone on the land of the United States of America, the Eastern director and the Western beauty concluded their historic meeting and agreed on subsequent cooperation matters.

Obviously, this is a win-win situation.

Boss Lu returned to the room wearing sunglasses and walking with unsteady steps.

Ah Fei was about to go out: "Boss, so early?"

Lu Kuan’s face darkened and he said, “You kid, what are you doing to me?”

It’s already 7:30, is it still early?
I wonder how tired I was last night?
The blonde was extremely powerful in combat, and in his opinion, was almost as strong as Bingbing.

What a wild American horse.

"A Fei, take me with you when you exercise next time, for example..."

"Like squats or something."

Ah Fei was confused: "I'm going to go to the hotel gym now, okay?"

Boss Lu slapped his thigh and went back to his room to change his clothes: "Let's go! Practice for a while."

Several people stayed at the top luxury Beverly Hills Hotel, which is also the favorite place of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, and they once had exclusive rooms here for a long time.

Before I even entered the gym, I heard a girl's crisp "hey ha" sound, which sounded very familiar.

Boss Lu guessed that it was Liu Yifei doing morning exercises. When he got closer, he saw that the female warrior Xiao Liu was swinging a battle rope.

"Oh, the sun rises from the west today?"

Liu Yifei looked at Boss Lu in disbelief as he appeared in a place like the gym.

At most, she would see him get up in the morning to run or practice some Vajra Kung Fu or something like that.

"Not bad, Xiaodao Madan, practice well!"

Boss Lu wanted to train his legs, so he found a Smith rack and added a pole to start with 50KG!

After all, my legs are a little weak now.

"Can you do this, little dog? That's all the weight you can carry? And you need a coward's stand?"

Lu Kuan Hong Wen: "Who's the thin dog? Who's the thin dog? Don't you want to warm up first?"

"You you on the line!"

"Let's go ahead."

Xiao Liu pushed him away with a proud look on his face.

Liu Yifei hired a professional fitness coach, and with Grotowski's professional body training, she can really handle the 50KG.

Even if it's an exhaustion set, going up and down two or three times is not a problem.

Lu Kuan saw her take a deep breath, tighten her abdominal and buttocks muscles, and straighten her lower back.

Exhale and straighten your legs, pushing your rounded hips forward and lifting your body.

Damn, is this really possible?
Boss Lu carefully observed the development and strength of her lower limbs, and felt that if she continued like this, she might be on par with Scarlett.

After all, Scarlett is only 1.65 meters tall, and this little girl is 1.7 meters tall!
There is a good saying in the fitness circle.

Women can't stand men doing squats.

Men can't stand women doing squats.

When men and women practice together, the bed can’t bear it!
Xiao Liu's squat level... is not low!

Boss Lu felt a sense of crisis.

She is 17 this year and I am 23.

When she is 30, I will be 36.

When she is 40, I will be 46!

This. . .

Wouldn't it be possible that Xiao Liu, at his strongest age, would encounter himself at his weakest?!

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Boss Lu has learned his lesson: from now on, he needs to exercise, exercise, and conserve his energy!

Although he can still handle fierce horses like Bingbing, Feihong Sister, and Scarlett with ease, he cannot prevent his body from declining as he gets older!

Especially the swordsman Xiao Liu, if she develops into her ultimate form, she will be stronger than all of them...

"Huh~~~ How's it going? Is everything okay?"

With the help of A Fei, Liu Yifei escaped from the bar and looked at Lu Kuan with pride.

"It's your turn, come on."

"Hey, Martin Scorsese insisted on talking to me about his new film last night. I didn't sleep all night."

"You continue to practice, Xiao Liu. I'm going to go back and catch up on some sleep."

Concubine Liu Yi grabbed him and said, "Wait."

She leaned over and smelled it, but didn't find anything suspicious, just a stronger smell of cigarettes and alcohol.

Fortunately, I changed my clothes and washed my face.

But her next words made Boss Lu a little nervous: "I'll go back with you. I'm done practicing."

"Um...let's go?"

Lu Kuan swiped his card to open the room. Liu Yifei glanced at the door and found nothing unusual.

"Aren't you going back yet? You can't just walk into the director's room."

Concubine Liu Yi suddenly became suspicious and pushed him away: "I want to use your bathroom."

A few seconds later she pushed the door open again and asked: "You were wearing the same clothes yesterday, where are the clothes you changed into?"

"It was sent to the laundry room."

Boss Lu sat on the bed and looked at her with a smile.

He is deliberately teasing Concubine Liu Yi. If you are curious, come in and take a look. There is nothing there anyway.

How could we not prepare for such an obvious flaw in advance?

Xiao Liu looked at him expressionlessly, then suddenly asked in surprise, "Eh? There's a long hair on your shoulder? Blonde?"

"Don't move, don't move. I'll help you take it off."

Boss Lu sneered in his heart and thought he was still trying to cheat me.

It doesn't matter who taught you this skill.

Do you want to betray your teacher and ancestors?

Liu Yifei walked over and found that the man's expression had not changed from beginning to end, so she patted his shoulder angrily.

Only then did she realize that she had been fooled and wanted to leave angrily.

He walked to the door and slammed it shut with a bang, quite powerful!

The curtains were always drawn, plunging the room into darkness.

Boss Lu was startled: "You...what are you doing? I'm a serious director."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a minor. America is not a lawless place!"

Concubine Liu Yi was in no mood to deal with his teasing, and she also hated his evasive attitude.

"Seven months."

"what?"

"In seven months, I will be 18, and our two-year distribution agreement will end."

Lu Kuan crossed his legs expressionlessly: "And then?"

"I don't know how much money I've made for you in the past two years, but you know it clearly."

"After I turned eighteen, whether it was cooperation or exploitation, if you still had some purpose towards me..."

"Then I ask you to consider my feelings when doing things!"

Concubine Liu Yi looked at him with burning eyes.

Boss Lu sighed deeply and for the first time, he looked at the actress he had personally trained with such a serious expression.

"Liu Yifei, you have improved and now you know how to threaten me."

"Yes, I threatened you."

Concubine Liu Yi took a step closer, so close that she could see her fluttering eyelashes through the wide road.

"I know your methods are cruel. You can treat me like you treated those people from Huayi and then reduce me to dust. I don't care."

Xiao Liu did not back down. She thought it through that sleepless night in Yinchuan.

She knew clearly what she wanted and had analyzed the current situation.

From an economic perspective, she didn't believe Lu Kuan would give up his sunk costs and abandon himself as a "money-making tool" that could easily bring him huge profits every year;
Emotionally, she didn't believe that he hadn't had any true feelings for her during these three years.

When she felt most helpless that night, she turned around and saw Lu Kuan standing at the door. She saw something different in the man's eyes.

Call it her wings growing strong, or her being spoiled and arrogant, anyway, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

Boss Lu sighed deeply. He hated the feeling of being out of control, just like that day in Hongxingwu.

Since his rebirth, he has calculated everything in his career because those things revolve around interests.

As long as he holds on to the chain of interests in his hands, Eagle King, China Film, and even Dong Shuangqiang with a complicated background can become his allies and get whatever he wants.

But some people cannot be blackmailed with interests.

He had never been involved in Liu Yifei's public relations work in his previous life, and he didn't know that she was such a person who would perish together with her.

How to do?
There is a term in economics called rational man.

A rational person refers to an individual who, in economic activities, pursues the maximization of his or her own interests and conducts rational analysis and decision-making on various situations.

The fundamental contradiction between Lu Kuan and Concubine Liu Yi now is the contradiction between a rational person and an irrational person.

It is a conflict between the economic brain and the love brain.

Put her on ice? All the three years of training would go to waste?

This is a lose-lose situation.

Even if the injury is minor, this is not the decision-making approach a rational person should have.

Besides, does the domestic entertainment industry have such a "money-making tool" that has been proven by history and is worth cultivating?

There is one that may be close, and it is now in my hands.

But once she agrees to it, seeing that Concubine Liu Yi looks like she wants to destroy herself and the enemy together, can she tolerate Bingbing?

Shit, my head hurts.

Now when Boss Lu meets the "tiger-eyed" Xiao Liu, it's like a scholar meeting a soldier.

Whether he threatened or bribed her, Concubine Liu Yi refused to accept it at all!

What she wants is the emotional value of being devoted to one person, which is exclusive. How can it be given so easily?
Concubine Liu Yi saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and she felt both disappointed and excited.

At least it shows that he is shaken.

Xiao Liu calmed down and firmly expressed his attitude to the washing machine:

"I listened to your talk about art yesterday, so I came back and did some research."

"I discovered that there's a color called titanium white in the paint. It has a very strong covering power, and when mixed with other colors, it changes the transparency and purity of other colors."

The little girl played it straight: "What I mean is that this color cannot coexist with other colors."

"The road is wide, you can play dumb."

"But I'm telling you, this is my color."
