In the interview scene, Lu Yuqing was wearing exquisite pseudo-no-makeup makeup, with pale lips and said:
"My engagement with Siyou is temporarily cancelled. I have sacrificed a lot in this relationship and also lost a child. Maybe my child doesn't want to come to this world. It wants to tell me by leaving that I don't want to marry someone who doesn't want to marry someone at all." A man who doesn’t love himself…”
When she said this, tears fell from her eyes, and she was choked to the point of being speechless several times.
The reporter handed her a tissue, comforted her, and continued to ask:
"Miss Yuqing, what are your plans next? Is there any possibility of a reunion between you and Mr. Si?"
Lu Yuqing smiled helplessly, "Leave it to time. From now on, I will still focus on my career."
Yun Qi's fingertips tapped on the table again and again:
"Although last night was thrilling, Lu Yuqing's physical condition would not lead to a miscarriage, so the only possibility is that she aborts the baby herself."
Cheng Suisui was shocked, "Huh? Why? Didn't she always want to marry Mr. Si?"
Why?
Yunqi smiled but said nothing.
It seemed that what she said last night scared Lu Yuqing.
How could you not be afraid?
Having a baby means not being able to take care of work for at least a year.
She was afraid that Yunqi would skyrocket under the new rules, that the child she gave birth to would become a burden that Siyou didn't want to face, and that everything she had worked so hard for would be eaten away bit by bit by Yunqi's strong return.
Therefore, she wants to prevent the rise of Habitat Media.
But in order to suppress her, she was able to ruthlessly attack the child. This ruthlessness made Yun Qigao take a look.
It seems that Lu Yuqing is not a lover?
As expected, in the next six months, Lu Yuqing would step in whenever Yunqi competed for endorsements, even at the expense of lowering her endorsement fees...
She doesn't care about money, but Yunqi does.
The 310 million in the gambling agreement was not a small amount. Among Habitat Media's shares, 20% of Shengxia's holdings were also disclosed to the public. It was not difficult for Lu Yuqing to guess the disputes of interest between the two companies.
The system is a little anxious:
[Host, your income in the past six months is less than 20 million, and several endorsements have been snatched away by Lu Yuqing. Do you want to consider... also lowering the price? 】
Seeing that Yunqi was about to get angry again, the system quickly explained:
[It’s like this. This book has been adapted from comics. I can provide you with some luxury logos that will be popular in the future for your reference. 】
Yunqi then said calmly:
"It can be the icing on the cake, but I didn't expect to make money from endorsements."
【ah? Then...can you tell me a little bit about your plan so that I can see what I can provide you? 】
Such a humble inquiry is very different from the arrogance at the beginning.
Yunqi is also a soft-spoken person, and she gave an explanation:
"Reducing prices in itself means lowering one's status. Brands will not keep choosing Lu Yuqing just because her price is low. What luxury goods value is the traffic and influence that celebrities bring."
[So, you are suppressing Lu Yuqing’s worth? Wonderful! No wonder your offer is uncompromising! So you turned down so many movie invitations, are you holding back your big move? 】
"There will be a movie that will be a big hit soon. The artist who plays the heroine will be banned due to inappropriate behavior, which will make the director's efforts in vain. Therefore, I must win this movie."
…
Half a month later, Cheng Suisui found Yunqi with a stack of scripts.
With a look of death on her face, she put down the script and knelt down in front of Yun Qi:
"Sister, please film a scene. The old man has severed the father-daughter relationship with me. He is the housekeeper of the Lu family. You know, because of you, the entire Lu family regards me as an enemy. I am homeless. You can't bear to let me live on the street and enter the world at a young age..."
Yunqi rolled his eyes speechlessly:
"There's no need to be so arrogant. You have a bachelor's degree after all."
“It’s hard to go from extravagance to frugality…”
Cheng Suisui had tears in her eyes and seemed really anxious.
Yun Qi was a little dizzy from being shaken by her, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said:
"In this summer when the cicadas are chirping, please help me connect it."
Cheng Suisui was happy and stood up immediately wiping tears!
Yun Qi patted her arm, "Remember, contact her quietly and don't reveal any news before starting the film. Also, spread the word that I will compete for the heroine of "The Book Man"."
"Ah? "The Book Man"? That director Sun Gua who has a bad reputation? Although the movie he makes is likely to be a hit, who are the investors behind him..."
Cheng Suisui is right.
Although Sun Gua is highly professional, his character is worrisome. For the sake of big production, he would not hesitate to sacrifice the artist's dignity to drink with investors.
The entertainment industry is not a clean place. Some people will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand, but there are also people who are willing to stick to the bottom line.
As a result, Sun Gua repeatedly set up traps with investors and tricked one artist after another. In the end, he used his power to turn big things into trivial matters.
Of course, the rewards the artist received in the end were also huge. Many people had no choice but to swallow their anger in order to settle the matter.
The reason why Yunqi released the competition for "The Book Man" was, on the one hand, to make Lu Yuqing think that she was at the end of her rope, and on the other hand, she also wanted to save someone...
Sun Gua's character is well known in the circle, but there are many people who have followed him, so when Yunqi showed up at the Sun family's mountaintop villa, Sun Gua was not too surprised.
Seeing Yun Qi, he stood up hurriedly:
"Ms. Lu, you are welcome from afar!"
Yunqi smiled back and said, "Director Sun praised me."
Sun Gua led Yunqi into the villa garden, "I just got some fine tea. If Miss Lu doesn't mind it, let's drink and chat."
Yunqi knew that Sun Gua didn't hold it in, but she didn't expose it and just stayed seated.
"Ms. Lu started her own business. Rumors have gone crazy in the circle. Everyone praises you for your courage, but I know that going solo is not as easy as you say. Miss Lu, don't you think so?"
"Yeah, if it was easy, how could I find Director Sun?" Yunqi agreed.
"Ms. Lu once relied on Sikong and was coveted by many people. However, Mr. Si was so protective that it was extremely difficult for investors to have a drink with you. Now, although you have Midsummer at your back, you can live in every brick and mortar of the media, and you still have to Miss Lu works hard on her own, and there are some things she has to do herself..."
Haha, the intention couldn't be more obvious.
Yun Qi suddenly stood up and said, "Director Sun, I'm here to talk about movies with you. Yes, I want to make money, but I also have a bottom line. Besides, I'm not some cat or dog who needs your movies to increase my worth. We are mutually beneficial and win-win, if you have any evil intentions, then I won’t let you go with me!"
As she said that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave.
Sun Gua quickly grabbed her and apologized, "Miss Lu, you misunderstood me. Come, come, come, drink tea, calm down..."
He pulled Yun Qi to sit down again and handed him the tea set.
Yunqi took an angry sip before calming down.
Sun Gua breathed a sigh of relief and then looked troubled:
"Hey, to be honest, this time the investor has invested a lot of money, and the heroine has already been decided, but I am willing to create another movie for you..."
As he spoke, he took out another script, "The Book Man is a movie with a male protagonist. The female protagonist is just a decoration. Even if it explodes, your role will not be much. This is a script with the growth of the female protagonist as the main line. See if it works..."
Just as Yun Qi was about to stretch out his hand, the world suddenly started to spin!
