Chapter 10

He took off his shoes, loosened his collar, and walked barefoot into the room

How is that possible

After speaking, both individuals fell silent

Several directors are interested in collaboration, and Liu Yubai wishes to employ the emerging new director He Ne, who has just begun to make a name for himself in the past two years. However, the other investors consider it too risky

Open the bag and take a look; perhaps there is a message for you

In the past half hour, He Ne has already engaged in lively discussions with several investors, and the atmosphere is quite enthusiastic

This upcoming film, still in preparation, is a Grade S project for next year. Several major companies, along with hundreds of large and small companies across the entire industry chain, are counting on this film for their livelihood

It can no longer be found. There are only entries, but no resources. It is said that Liu Yubai acquired the company that produced those films a few years ago, which means he has effectively bought out the copyright of the films. After the broadcasting agreements with some platforms expired, the films were directly removed from the entire internet. Any small piracy website that dares to secretly host the resources receives a warning letter from lawyers, and even cloud storage services have not been spared

The two of them sighed in unison, their hearts feeling as desolate as ashes as they glanced at the caregiver with a monthly salary of 30,000.

Liu Yubai went to the refrigerator to take a bottle of ice water, opened it and took a sip, then casually placed it on the dining table

Chi Qiao was somewhat curious, "How do you know about him? He is behind the scenes, very low-key, and usually there are no scandals about him that come to light"

The advertisement lacks substantial content, nor does it require any; Zhou Xun himself is the greatest selling point

After the dinner party concluded, Liu Yubai saw off the investors one by one, leaving He Ne to sit in his own car

Liang Siyue found it difficult to say that he had just gotten off his car, "... I occasionally saw it online."

Puh... Chi Qiao almost choked.

It is said to be a caretaker, but in reality, there is nothing else to do each day except patrol, pick up some trash, and ensure the sea turtles can lay their eggs in peace

"Love..." How surprising, he quickly said, "It's not that I look down on romantic films, Director Liu, you know I have never made this type before"

The kind of otaku who shouts "wife" and cheers from below

Chi Qiao was stirring the beef and said, "The advertisement we filmed together with Zhou Xun is going to be released in the next couple of days."

I used to ask, is it possible that the shop assistant would recognize ... ...

He is young, passionate, and has some ideas that are quite impressive, but his box office capability has not yet been tested by the market, so investors are still hesitant to entrust such a key project to him

He Ne is thirty-five years old this year, which can be considered young in the field of directing. The year before last, he directed a feature film with a low production cost and lacking in promotion, resulting in less than ideal box office performance, although it received excellent reviews. It was showcased abroad and won several awards, including a nomination for Best New Director at a certain prestigious award.

Liang Siyue and Chi Qiao left the hot pot restaurant, looking at the bags in their hands, completely at a loss.

Chi Qiao shook his head, "I heard that he simply likes sea turtles"

However, it must be said that even if the script only requires her to serve as a vague background figure, her performance still stands apart from others, as there always seems to be a story reflected in her eyes

Liang Siyue was very surprised. She could not imagine that Liu Yubai could still be an actor. With his unpredictable personality, which director could possibly manage him

Chi Qiaoxin felt as if her heart was dead, "So am I."

Liang Siyue took it in confusion and then noticed the logo "Burberry" printed on the paper bag. "Does the cashier still remember what the person who left the gift looked like?"

"Passersby would never send chocolates..."

It is possible

Is Liu Yubai an environmentalist

Liu Yubai went out in the evening to discuss the new film with several investors

Liu Yubai was quite impressed with himself; in less than a second of footage, he managed to identify a familiar face among those several maidens.

Liang Siyue noticed that Chi Qiao was staring at her with a half-smile, and she helplessly said, "Alright, alright, I consider myself a casual fan of Zhou Xun."

Liu Yubai, against the majority opinion, organized a meeting and invited the main investors and He Ne to discuss the matter at the dining table

I apologize, I am not sure about that. However, the person who paid the bill left a gift for Miss Liang at the cash register. The waiter handed over the paper bag in hand, asking, "Which one is Miss Liang?"

... ...

He had heard before that working as a director under producer Liu Yubai was incredibly comfortable; as long as the script passed his approval, he would hardly intervene in who directed it or how it was filmed, and the budget was ample.

It may also hold a handshake meeting of that kind

The fan club's Weibo has posted screenshots of movie stills, you can browse through the album. The president of the fan club has watched those films, and she once posted on her alternate account saying that as a fan, even with filters, one can only say... it's better to admire static images for their beauty, it was indeed the right decision for Liu to take everything offline.

Liu Yubai

Liu Yubai rented a stretch of beach approximately one kilometer long, exclusively for private use

Do not mention it again ... ... Liang Siyue also wanted to use the power of capital to silence Chi Qiao, "I was really just impulsive that day"

There are indeed many rumors about Liu Yubai, but this one can be considered as having "solid evidence"

Chi Qiao enjoys gossiping every day and is always the one unilaterally informing Liang Siyue about the latest happenings in the industry, rarely showing any interest herself. Since she is curious about Liu Yubai, Chi Qiao cannot help but share everything she knows: "Did you know that Liu Yubai used to act in movies?"

Is it being broadcast on television

On the way to the subway station, Chi Qiao said that if someone were truly pursuing her, this tactic would merely be a tease; one cannot remain anonymous and hide in the shadows forever, as there will inevitably come a day when they reveal themselves

After a short while, the waiter returned with a paper bag in hand, saying, "Someone has already purchased for the two ladies."

Chi Qiao comforted Liang Siyue, "At least the scarf is practical; it will be useful as soon as the weather turns cold."

Chi Qiaodun stopped in his tracks, "What happened?"

The Weibo posts from the support club are all visible only to fans and cannot be shared, as sharing would inevitably lead to exposure. If they were to be seen by Liu Yubai himself, there is a possibility that the account could be banned. It feels so humble.

Two impoverished individuals who can only take a detour around luxury boutiques

Liu Yubai pressed the power button to turn off the television

I dozed off in the car, and when I opened my eyes, I had already arrived at the entrance of the apartment complex

Chi Qiao asked: "Isn't one of your suitors also eating hot pot in the store?"

Liang Siyue took over Chi Qiao's phone and opened the Weibo account of the "Liu Family Turtle Breeding Base". The album was filled with a bunch of silly pictures, occasionally interspersed with a few almost unedited stills from the drama.

Who knows that after more than a year, Liu sought him out again for a major project, and although it ultimately did not come to fruition, he could still appreciate Liu's appreciation for talent

Liang Siyue quickly opened it

Do you dare to go in

Liang Siyue wondered if Liu Yubai intended to apologize and therefore sent someone to pay the bill. Before getting out of the car, he had specifically asked her if she wanted to go shopping, which she found rather strange at the time

The smart home system automatically turned on the lights and the television, filling the empty room with voices.

Liu Yubai smiled and said, "I have a project at hand, but the script is only in its preliminary form. I really like the story, and if you are willing, you can take a look and see if it can be refined. This project is solely mine, and I will give you ample autonomy."

He was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had misread it. He picked up the remote control and rewound the progress bar

His role is that of a celestial being in flowing white robes, with several equally striking maidens serving as his attendants behind him

He is not filming a 3 | level | movie, is he ... ...

Liu Yu and Tu Shubai's apartment is an expansive 300-square-meter flat, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, with a view of the wide river landscape outside.

It is said that he wanted to destroy his past because he felt his acting skills were poor—who says the internet has a memory? With money, one can do as one pleases

After adding him on WeChat, Liu did not contact him again. Such situations are common, and he did not take it to heart

Romantic film

He still has some impression of this online game; at that time, he accompanied Zhou Xun to attend the launch conference.

Soon, Liang Siyue and Chi Qiao will begin their closed training at the company, and they will no longer be able to casually run out for hot pot as they do now

I dare not

Liang Siyue stared blankly, "... ... I really want to do this job."

Online game advertisement, fifth anniversary event promotional theme, the protagonist is Zhou Xun

After finishing the hot pot, it was already past 8 PM

After the two individuals took their seats and ordered their dishes, they continued to discuss the peculiar stories related to Liu.

Although He Ne was psychologically prepared for the outcome, he still felt quite impacted and felt guilty towards Liu Yubai for giving him this opportunity

In the stills, Liu Yubai is still a youth, deserving of all descriptions such as "noble as the orchid and jade tree," "standing alone like a solitary pine," and "the jade mountain toppling." His looks, even in today's entertainment industry, would attract countless people willing to shower him with money, even if he merely expressed a single emotion throughout the entire performance, relying entirely on voice actors for his acting.

My pursuers are women in their thirties and forties Liang Siyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, "... please, this is too avant-garde"

I don't know. What is it called? Let me search for it

Liang Siyue and Chi Qiao looked at each other, "Who bought this for us?"

Chi Qiao shrugged and said, "The point is not this; the point is, do you know how much Liu Yubai pays the caregiver? A monthly salary of 30,000."

It should only be a pre-roll advertisement on the video website

Just as I was about to turn off the television to go to sleep, an advertisement flashed across the video that was playing halfway through

Please take a look at the original work and the script summary first. I will have my assistant send them to you later

Liu Yubai had consumed some alcohol, and feeling somewhat tipsy, he felt even more fatigued

Please follow me, I will help you inquire.

It is rumored that Liu Yubai went on vacation to a little-known island in Southeast Asia in a certain year and discovered sea turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs. However, the area is impoverished, and the locals do not pay attention to this phenomenon. The beach is frequented by local residents selling souvenirs, leaving the sea turtles without a safe place to lay their eggs, and those that do lay eggs may be crushed underfoot before they even hatch

Liang Siyue dismissed her own conjecture, shaking her head, "It's nothing."

After taking a shower, I returned to the living room

Inside is a scarf, and apart from the tag, there is not a single extra piece of paper.

Frequent reports of "pillow business" and "private connections" have emerged

The cashier stated that the person who left the gift was a well-dressed lady, whose age was indiscernible, possibly in her thirties or forties. She did not leave any other messages, settled the bill, and simply requested that the gift be passed on before leaving

The kind that involves singing and dancing

After the film directed by He Ne won an award two years ago, Liu Yubai took the initiative to reach out, exchanged personal WeChat information, and expressed a desire to collaborate with him in the future

Then, another person was hired as a caregiver

Did you say it was bought at the Burberry store in this shopping mall

I also do not dare

What genre is it?

He arrived nearly half an hour late and was heckled into drinking three cups of liquor

Liang Siyue seemed to be half-listening, when suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, "Ah..."

The two individuals called the waiter to settle the bill

The pot bottom arrives, with steaming tomato soup and spicy red oil soup, perfectly suited for the slightly chilly weather of early autumn

However, this face with a story is about to become an "idol"

What is there to like about sea turtles

Liang Siyue was very serious, "Otherwise, why would you be so afraid of being seen by others?"

However

The driver first took He Ne to his destination, and then sent Liu Yubai home
