Yuan Long looked glorious, but his influence in the mainland was clearly not as great as the behemoth Tianxing Entertainment.
Besides, it was his son who got into trouble, not him! Who would really get involved in this matter?
"Director Su, this is a project I've recently planned to do, and it's still lacking an investment.
I wonder if Tianxing Entertainment would be interested in a collaboration?"
Yuan Long indeed didn't tell the truth; instead, he took out the movie script for "Flying Tiger."
He acted as if he wanted to discuss a collaboration with Su Yu.
Actually, if it were a movie investment, he could have completely talked to Ren Nanbei, the general manager of the Film and Television Department.
There was no need at all to go through Liu Furong to find Su Yu.
However, approaching Ren Nanbei would most likely lead to a direct polite refusal! That's why today's meeting happened.
Yuan Long felt that only Su Yu could influence the behemoth Tianxing Entertainment!
And as long as Su Yu agreed, Tianxing Entertainment would go all out to ensure the movie was released.
His goal would then be achieved.
Su Yu nodded, said nothing, but took the script and began to read it.
This script had the shell of a war film but the core of a comedy.
Using a speeding train as the background, it was quite innovative overall.
However, it still couldn't escape the shadow of Yuan Long's kung fu comedy.
Su Yu felt that if this movie were made, it would definitely make money.
It was just that in the actor recommendations, he saw a very inconspicuous name.
Sure enough, everything Ren Nanbei said was right.
While Su Yu was flipping through the script, Yuan Long kept watching Su Yu, his expression even showing some nervousness.
It wasn't until Su Yu turned to the last page and frowned that his heart sank.
As for Liu Furong? He didn't say a word the entire time.
He was just helping with the introduction; he knew what Yuan Long wanted to do, and both sides were friends, so what could he say?
He wouldn't tell Su Yu not to agree, nor would he tell Yuan Long to give up.
"The script is quite interesting.
If the filming quality is good, it should achieve decent box office results, but the actor for the character of Brother Rui, let's change him!
I can understand Uncle Long's love for his son, but if such a movie is released, where does that leave the frontline anti-drug police who fight so hard?
How will domestic audiences view you then? Don't let a lifetime of reputation and prestige be ruined in an instant."
Su Yu's voice was flat and calm, showing no discernible emotion.
But what kind of person was Yuan Long? How could he not hear the threat in Su Yu's words?
Su Yu was not only refusing to invest but also threatening him that if the movie cast his son, it wouldn't be released!
He might even be ruined!
Good heavens, he's so young, how can he be so ruthless?
At this moment, Yuan Long already regretted asking Liu Furong to introduce Su Yu!
If there hadn't been this meeting, he would have secretly filmed it anyway.
By the time the movie was released, what more could be said?
But now it seems things have been messed up! Why is this young man Su Yu also a hot-blooded youth with a moral obsession?
Moreover, Su Yu's words left him no face at all and completely blocked any of his counter-arguments.
"Is there really no way? Can't you give him a chance?" Yuan Long's voice was hoarse as he spoke.
It was evident that he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
Of course, it wasn't directed at Su Yu, but because his own son was a disappointment!
Uncle Long had been a force to be reckoned with for most of his life, and now in his old age, he almost ruined his reputation because of his son.
"If your son doesn't become an actor or a star, there are other paths for him, but the heroes who sacrificed their lives in anti-drug efforts, they only have one life!
We must be worthy of their sacrifice!
If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Su Yu had already stood up as he spoke, and by the time his voice ended, he had already left the office.
What kind of ridiculous nonsense was all this? If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have met Yuan Long!
Andy Lau, too, why didn't he tell him about this earlier?
What if he had been kept in the dark and made a mistake?
However, this was unfair to Liu Furong; he thought Su Yu already knew about it.
After all, when Yuan Long's son was arrested in the first half of the year, it was headline news.
Now that he's just been released, Yuan Long has started pulling strings everywhere; who in the industry doesn't know?
Only Su Yu probably doesn't care about these things!
"That's just how President Su is; he's very direct.
I told you before you came, but you wouldn't believe me! Now there's nothing that can be done."
Liu Furong shrugged, not knowing what else to say.
However, this incident also gave him a reminder: he must pay close attention to his children's education in the future.
They can be ordinary, but they absolutely cannot make fundamental mistakes!
Otherwise, it would truly be tragic.
"President Su!" Ren Nanbei answered Su Yu's call, speaking politely.
"If the 'Flying Tiger' project dares to use that person, don't let it be released, whether in the mainland or overseas!"
Ren Nanbei had never heard Su Yu speak in such a serious tone before.
Not even when Hao Ren bypassed him to talk to Su Yu about a project.
It was clear that Su Yu was serious this time.
"Understood!" Ren Nanbei didn't say anything about how doing so might cause losses to the company; instead, he readily agreed.
Compared to the reputation and profits Su Yu brought to the company annually, what was this loss?
Blacklisting Yuan Long might take some effort, but his infamous son? Is that even an issue?
When Yuan Long left Tianxing Entertainment, he looked visibly much older.
Recently, he had truly been physically and mentally exhausted.
Alas, it had no effect whatsoever.
Just as Su Yu arrived at the Music Department's recording studio to begin recording new songs for his album, Liu Furong, who had seen Yuan Long off, didn't leave but came to the Music Department.
He felt that he still needed to explain this matter to Su Yu; otherwise, if their relationship soured, it would be a huge loss.
This time, Su Yu's new album producer was still Li Dayue.
Not suited for the life of a wealthy man, he only found some zest for life after returning to the Tianxing Entertainment Music Department.
And how could he not be interested in Su Yu's new album?
Squeezing out Dong An, who was eager to act as producer, Li Dayue sat confidently outside the recording studio, listening to Su Yu record new songs.
Seeing Liu Furong enter, he didn't get up, but just nodded, gesturing for the other person to sit down and listen to the song together.
Liu Furong didn't refuse either, and the two became the first listeners of Su Yu's new album outside the recording studio.
"Perfect!" As soon as Su Yu finished singing a song, Li Dayue's unreserved praise came through.
Su Yu then walked out of the recording studio; Liu Furong had come over, he couldn't just pretend not to see him, right?
"Andy Lau, you weren't very righteous this time; thankfully, Ren Nanbei sent me a message, otherwise, I really would have fallen into a pit!"
Su Yu, annoyed, was the first to attack.
"The matter was making such a fuss, I thought you already knew! Yuan Long even came to me for help, I couldn't just close my door, could I?
But if you hadn't discovered the problem, I would have reminded you afterward.
Don't you trust my character?"
Liu Furong was also very helpless.
