"Yeah, for them it doesn't matter even if the money is wasted..." Without anyone else saying anything, Iwata Atsuya could hear the bitterness in his own voice.

Ishihara Takashi originally planned to comfort him with a few words before hanging up, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Koizumi Hiroji first.

"If you mean the new producer from the United States, then I don't think you need to say more. Matsumoto has just informed me of the general situation."

Ishihara Takashi was in a bad mood. Rather than continue to push and pull with this group of people, he wanted to end the battle quickly and deal with them all.

"Listen, Ishihara, I understand how you feel. Maybe this news is not so pleasant for you." Koizumi Koji simply comforted him, and then changed the subject, "But I hope you won't do any unnecessary tricks in the future, okay? I think I can trust you in this regard. After all, your character is obvious to everyone."

His words sounded like he was complimenting him, but in fact they contained a strong warning, which made Ishihara Takashi's mood, which had finally calmed down, fluctuate again.

Before the call from Shuichi Matsumoto, he had no doubt about his impending victory - Kitagawa Yoshiko could not find a new producer in the country to replace him, and her last choice was to come to him and apologize in disgrace.

Ishihara Takashi likes the feeling of having things in his own hands, and likes the expression on other people's faces when they have to bow down to him.

But it was obvious that the development of things now had completely exceeded what he could have imagined.

Domestic producers would reject Kitagawa Yoshiko because of his interference, but Columbia would not.

Even though Columbia was acquired by Sony a long time ago, it still symbolizes the Hollywood market that everyone aspires to.

From the beginning to the end, Ishihara Takashi never thought that Kitagawa Yoshiko would bring back such a heavyweight guest to save the day - he believed that he was definitely not the only one who was surprised by this tonight.

She almost did something that everyone thought was impossible.

Ishihara Takashi didn't have the energy to speculate who was behind this incident. He just sighed and said calmly, "I understand, Koizumi. You don't need to remind me. I know how to be a quiet loser."

After all, he has been in the circle for many years and is quite shrewd. He will not completely lose his composure because of this incident.

"Don't think like that, Ishihara. You're certainly not the loser." Koizumi Koji comforted him, "You're Kitagawa's senior anyway. I'll be the middleman some other day and we can get together. We can still get along well afterwards."

Of course, Ishihara Takashi didn't really take such polite words seriously. He smiled and exchanged a few witty remarks with him, then hung up the phone after a while.

Obviously, the other party was also very satisfied with his tactfulness and quickly withdrew and re-engaged in the next conversation.

The view from the room was dim. Ishihara Takashi could vaguely feel some light coming in through the courtyard, but it was not bright enough.

He looked at his phone silently, his mind full of thoughts.

Compared to him, the former producer who was suspected of offending Fujita Ryo, Koizumi must be more eager to find out the background of the new producer - compared with the two, it seems that chatting with him is a waste of time.

This long-lost feeling of being despised made Ishihara Takashi a little angry, and he couldn't help feeling sad: when he first came to Tokyo from Osaka to study, he had personally experienced all kinds of human warmth and coldness, but those hard days were far away from him, so far that he almost forgot the humiliation of being ignored.

From the moment he made his mark in the entertainment industry, he became a highly sought-after young elite in the circle. Everyone was eager to meet him, everyone wanted to get close to him... All he could feel was endless enthusiasm and flattery.

But just now, at that moment, he seemed to have turned back into the gray self of his youth.

He became a marginal figure that everyone avoided.

The arrogance that Ishihara Takashi had developed over the years disappeared at this moment. He hesitated and picked up his phone and dialed a new number.

In any case, he has not reached the end of his rope yet, and everything can still be saved.

The news that Columbia Pictures would invest in "The Hiroo Murder Case" spread like a hurricane to all relevant people at home and abroad within half a day.

Even with the time difference, the news was transmitted back to China incredibly quickly. Before netizens were shocked, other colleagues in the domestic entertainment industry had already received the news.

To be honest, this is not the first time that Su Lingxi has done something that exceeds everyone's expectations.

Since her debut, every achievement she has made seems to be constantly raising everyone's expectations: since she became famous for her role in "Summer of Sixteen", she has become the lucky person envied by young girls, and her high box office performance brought her more scripts; followed by "Red Careerist", which was a great success in both word-of-mouth and box office. The "three-no crew" that was not optimistic before filming started was finally put on the screening area of ​​the Berlin Film Festival; and "The Rose Thorn" undoubtedly pushed her career to an unprecedented new climax. She won the Berlin Film Queen, the Golden Statue Film Queen, and collaborated with the Best Director at Cannes... Things began to undergo a dreamlike qualitative change.

People couldn't figure out what was going on, but they admired her wholeheartedly.

And this time was certainly no exception - everyone thought that the "Guangwei" crew was in huge trouble and Su Lingxi was about to face her first Waterloo, but - it only took a few days for them to quickly gain the favor of Columbia.

Is this their plan B? Or a pleasant surprise?

Or is it all just a perfect hype?

Most people are busy thinking about these questions, and more importantly: How did they find Colombia to cover them so easily?

It is well known how arrogant and picky Hollywood film studios are.

Why can they do all this?

What people care about is not the one million dollar investment, but the signal that this cooperation means - does Su Lingxi really have the opportunity to enter the vision of Hollywood film companies?

How far can she go?

Should we stop here, or move on to a higher vision?

Will she become the second Ruan Tang?

Or can he achieve even more remarkable achievements than Ruan Tang did back then?

Everything is unknown.
