Until the starlight [entertainment circle]

After the banquet, Yue Haonan accompanied Xi Ruier and stood at the door to say goodbye to the guests one by one.

After this banquet, Xi Ruier introduced many tycoons in the American entertainment industry to Yue Haonan, which not only greatly helped his acting career in the United States, but also expanded a lot of contacts in his studio.

Lin Yi also put on his coat and was about to leave, when he looked up and saw Xi Ruier whispering something in Yue Haonan's ear, the two of them laughed happily together, feeling a sharp pain in their hearts.

Lin Yi grabbed a waiter who was about to pass by, looked at the champagne left on his tray, took out a hundred dollar bill from his pocket, stuffed it into the waiter's chest pocket, and said flatly: " Can you do me a favor, please?"

Although he took a deep breath and prepared for a long time, when Lin Yi walked in front of Yue Haonan and Xi Ruier, his expression was still a little stiff, and he reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth at Xi Ruier's handsome face: "Mr. Rockefeller, thank you for inviting us today. I went to such a great banquet and I had a really good night."

Cyril's blue eyes were slightly bent, and he bowed politely and said, "Thank you Mr. Lin for your compliment, as long as you like it."

At this time, the waiter that Lin Yi had arranged in advance came over with champagne, bumped into Lin Yi's back, the tray in his hand tilted, and five or six glasses of champagne were poured on him.

Lin Yi's eyes were fixed on Yue Haonan, and he quickly raised his arm towards Lin Yi, Lin Yi couldn't restrain his ecstasy, but this joy only lasted a few tenths of a second, because Yue Haonan's arm didn't block it. In front of him, he embraced Cyril's shoulders and held Cyril firmly in his arms. Neither of them got a drop of champagne, and only Lin Yi was soaked in water.

Lin Yi froze in place, the wine in his hair dripped onto his soaked shoulders, he was in a panic.

Xi Ruier was the first to react, and hurriedly beckoned people to get towels, but Lin Yi just waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I'll leave right now, thank you again for your invitation today." After finishing speaking, he didn't look back Go out the door.

Yue Haonan didn't say a word, looked at Lin Yi's thin back, and silently clenched his fists.

Xi Ruier looked at the lonely expression on Yue Haonan's face, and asked: "I saw it, your hand was intended to pull him, why did you change it to pull me in the middle?"

Yue Haonan just shook his head and didn't speak.

"I don't understand, why can't you two get back together even though you are still in love with each other?"

Yue Haonan smiled bitterly: "Because he still has parents, wife, and children, I can't let him choose between me and his family anymore, that would be too cruel for him."

The next day, Qianying Group invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the fantasy film "Dead Home", which was officially released in the United States, and announced that it will participate in the competition for the Pisca Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

At this time, "Nine Songs" has been released for almost two weeks. In the early stage, this movie was not pleasant. Most people didn't have any hope for it. People from all over the world have given extremely high evaluations, and major magazines and newspapers have also praised it, saying that it "gathers the essence of all Fangzong's talents", and there is no misunderstanding caused by cultural differences. , "Nine Songs" has accumulated a good reputation, the number of films scheduled in theaters continues to increase, and the box office is also gratifying.

Although this is a historical film about Qu Yuan's life with the background of the Spring and Autumn Period, the narrative is concise and clear, and will not make Americans who don't understand this period of history feel jerky and difficult to understand. With Fang Zong's unique artistic methods, the overall level of "Nine Songs" has far exceeded 90.00% of the domestic films. Even if it is placed in the world, it is still a high-quality film, so it is understandable that it has won a good reputation at the box office.

Compared with "Nine Songs", "Dead Home" is much more bleak. Although this film claims to invest hundreds of millions in special effects, the final effect is not satisfactory, and it is only at the upper-middle level in Hollywood. And too much emphasis on special effects underestimated the story structure and deep connotation of the film, ignoring that this should be a film first, and a film with touching special effects second, making the mistake of putting the cart before the horse, a pale and loosely framed story, Even if it is packaged with gorgeous and expensive special effects, it has no vitality.So even though "Dead Home" raked in more than 7 million domestic box office, it still couldn't get enough of it in the United States. The first day's screening rate was less than 20.00%, and the attendance rate was even less than 70.00%. The film scheduling rate of "Nine Songs" reached [-]%, and the attendance rate was as high as [-]%.

"Dead Home" came on strong, but ended its first day of competition with less than $[-] at the box office.

With a "snap", a glass ashtray was thrown on the wall by an angry Ke Yingzhi and smashed into pieces, and scattered glass shards fell on the wooden floor, making a dull sound.

"I don't believe that "Nine Songs" is so good! Fang Zong must have bribed the media! Or Yue Haonan joined forces with that Cyril to squeeze me out on purpose!" Ke Yingzhi walked up and down the room, so anxious that he couldn't sit still install.

The secretaries and assistants at the scene all lowered their heads and said nothing. In fact, they organized a group to watch the famous "Nine Songs" yesterday when Ke Yingzhi was attending the banquet. Several girls shed a lot of tears when Qu Yuan, played by Yue Haonan, committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

The magnificent historical background and magnificent war scenes in the film are impressive, and more importantly, "Nine Songs" tells a true and touching story for everyone, which vividly embodies the soul and essence of a film. At this point, "Dead Home" is a complete failure.

But Ke Yingzhi has been blinded by anger and hatred, unable to fairly judge good or bad.Neither his self-esteem nor his competitive spirit allowed him to lose here. He couldn't bear to lose to a starlet who had been manipulated by him, so he made up his mind that since he couldn't control the box office, then You can only crush the opponent at the Piscar Awards.

Ke Yingzhi made a plan in his mind, with a vicious smile on his face.

***

Three days later, Yue Haonan saw on the news that "Dead Home" was pulled from major theaters across the United States after only three days of its release because of its poor box office and constant negative reviews.

Final box office, $229.

Yue Haonan originally thought that since this was the case, Ke Yingzhi would bring Lin Yi back to China, but he did not expect that when Fang Zong and Fang Zong were interviewed by a certain newspaper in the afternoon, Fang Zong told him that Ke Yingzhi not only did not plan to return to China, but also wanted to Continue to wait for the results of Pisca's nomination.

"Huh? He wouldn't still be dreaming of being nominated, would he?" Yue Haonan expressed surprise.

"Did you know that Xi Ruier told me yesterday that Ke Yingzhi gave a big gift to everyone in the Piscar Awards selection committee, some gave a mansion, some gave a luxury car, anyway Just do what you like." Fang Zong's unsullied artist's soul was burning brightly, and he made no secret of his deep contempt for this kind of opportunism.

The corner of Yue Haonan's mouth twitched, it seemed that Ke Yingzhi was really in a hurry and dared to use any method.

"Syril is the biggest sponsor and one of the judges. Do you know what Ke Yingzhi gave him?"

"do not know."

"A beautiful Asian boy, hahahahahaha!"

"Pfft—" Yue Haonan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Syril was so angry that his face was crooked. He told me that he was about to send someone to send Ke Yingzhi back to China. Hahaha Ke Yingzhi is really good."

"Maybe it's the intimacy between Cyril and me at the banquet that made Ke Yingzhi think he liked a man."

"Cyril didn't have a good impression of him at first, but now he is completely offended. It seems that Ke Yingzhi's Pisca journey will become more bumpy."

***

Four days later, the nominations for the Piscar Awards were officially announced. "Nine Songs" lived up to expectations and was nominated for the "Best Foreign Language Film Award", while "Dead Home" failed magnificently. It was revealed that Ke Yingzhi tried to bribe the judges, and the Piscar Awards Organizing Committee unanimously decided to permanently disqualify the film invested by Qianying Group from competing for the Piscar Awards.

This news caused an uproar after it was spread back to China. Netizens fiercely criticized the dirty behavior of Qianying Group. The curses such as expulsion of nationality are endless, and what is even more frightening is that due to the impact of this incident, the stock of Qianying Group fell by nearly [-]% overnight, and its market value evaporated by nearly [-] million yuan. For Ke Yingzhi, this It was the second big hit after Pisca's defeat.

After the nomination results were announced, the main creators of "Dead Home" fled back to the country in desperation, and were chased and intercepted by many media at the airport, but they all remained silent and silent, unwilling to answer any questions from the reporters, and quickly sat down. Get in the car and leave the airport.

But no one noticed that Ke Yingzhi was actually not among these people.

Because he hasn't returned home yet.

Ke Yingzhi stayed in the United States with one of his most trusted secretaries. He really couldn't swallow this breath, full of anger and unable to vent, so he aimed at Yue Haonan, thinking that everything was Yue Haonan's fault, and vowed not to destroy him completely. Do not return home.

This time Ke Yingzhi was going to rape Yue Haonan, taking pornographic photos of him being raped by men, and then spreading them around, completely ruining his image and leaving him no chance of turning over.

After making the plan, let the secretary arrange it, find out the underground gangsters in the United States, and figure out Yue Haonan's work schedule, but because Yue Haonan must drive when going out now, it is difficult to start, so they cut Yue Haonan's car during the day first After getting off work, Yue Haonan found that the car would not start, so he had to go out and take a taxi.Yue Haonan's studio is located on a bustling road, and it is difficult to get a car during the rush hour, so he strolled to the block in front of him.

Ke Yingzhi and the mafia gang followed him all the way, planning to attract his attention with the cry for help when he reached the unmonitored alley in front, and then take him down in one fell swoop.

In fact, Ke Yingzhi didn't need to come, but he felt uneasy about entrusting such an important plan to the secretary, so he insisted on following, wanting to personally witness the whole process of Yue Haonan's fall.

Everything went smoothly as planned, Ke Yingzhi and the three big black men made a detour from the alley to the front of Yue Haonan, looking out from the entrance of the alley, Yue Haonan was walking towards them, Ke Yingzhi was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, Whispered to the three big men: "Get ready, you will start calling for help as soon as I order, and then knock him out as soon as he turns in, understand?"

The three big men nodded in turn.

Seeing Yue Haonan getting closer and closer, Ke Yingzhi's heart almost jumped out of his throat. While secretly staring at Yue Haonan, he gestured to the big man behind him.

Three, two, one!

As soon as Ke Yingzhi stretched out his index finger to make a "one" gesture, he felt a heavy blow on the back of the head, and fell limply before he even had time to snort.
