Santa Monica with sea breezes, Cheyenne Corporate Headquarters, CEO's Office.

Rifkin sat behind the high-end solid wood desk, with a smile on his long face. He picked up several contract documents and handed them to Ye Wei across the table, and smiled and said, "Boy, the cooperation is pleasant. As you said, the whole world will be shocked soon."

"Haha, the cooperation is pleasant." Ye Wei happily took over the big stack of contracts and read them casually. One was a joint venture production contract between the two parties, and the other two were employment contracts for the project producer and director.

In fact, when it comes to signing, it is a process, because the previous stage of contract formulation was the time when both parties discussed. Each of these three contracts exceeded fifty pages, and he was allowed to read them by himself, and he couldn't understand many things, so he brought lawyer Salton to support the scene.

But after looking for a while, he didn't ask anything. Lawyer Salton sat next to him like a robot, but the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.

"If you have no problem watching, sign it, and then we will carry out the next step of work." Revkin said something happy: "The activity has been done on Lowett. Nick Channel intends to play "Dance of Angels" in prime time. At the end of the month, millions of children will see your short film, haha."

"Cool!" Ye Wei couldn't help but stare. Nickelodeon is a cable children's channel. You will like to watch it from the age of 2 to 14. "SpongeBob SquarePants" is its masterpiece. He also grew up watching Nickelodeon. The love of children determines whether a person can become a youth idol.

He was confident that "Dance of Angels" could work, but he also wanted to be commercially used, so he asked this question.

"It's not a problem, it's a charity broadcast, and all the income will be donated to charity organizations." Revkin replied.

"That's fine." Ye Wei nodded excitedly. It's great. All efforts are finally about to bear sweet fruits. It's really a bit dreamy!

Director! Producer! I can’t wait to think about it. He couldn’t help but flip the joint venture contract and turn to the part about the project director. “Ye Wei, the party of Dream Chasing Alliance, will participate in the creative affairs of the project director team.”

Very good...but...

What suddenly flashed through his heart was a line of text in the prank letter, "You are no longer the director." Participating, team... His heart tightened, and he thought of a bad idea: The director who did not have any clear terms in these terms was Ye Wei!

The first deputy director, the second deputy director, and even the third and fourth, are also members of the team, and are also involved in creative affairs.

He turned back to the project producer part, and the same was true. He did not clearly say that the first producer was Ye Wei, but just said that he would participate in the affairs of the production team...

Ye Wei suppressed the villain's ideas, looked at lawyer Salton, then looked at Rifkin, and smiled and said, "I have a problem. The director and first producer are not clearly written on the contract. I think it's better to write it clearly."

"Haha!" Revkin changed his seat slightly and raised his hand to touch his chin. "Boy, it's not needed. It's like Lowett's plan for you. It won't be written into the contract. These are our private agreements, and there are employment contracts."

Lawyer Salton also had doubts, "It is best to clarify it and can be used as a binding clause. We were a little neglected when we made a contract before."

After all, he is not a gold medal lawyer. He faces the top Schipper Bridenhan. Because of his unequal facts and subconsciously he is too humble, he realizes that he seems to be being led by someone quietly.

"Let me see..." Ye Wei flipped out two more employment contracts. After a while, his doubts rose instead of lowering, because the employment contract had dismissal clauses and did not even require compensation. He could kick him out by just one "unprofessional behavior that harms the project". What does this mean? How can it be considered unprofessional? They have the final say?

After searching, I couldn't find any guarantee. When the film was released, the name of the producer and director displayed on the screen was Ye Wei.

He remembered the contract of focus and Kevin Thomas, don’t make any possible mentally retarded mistakes! Don’t be blinded by joy, especially the mysterious letter appears.

"Arnold, I need a clear clause to ensure that the plan will not change." Ye Wei said very seriously, "In this way, everyone can feel at ease, why not?"

Revkin's smile slightly eased, "That's not in line with the rules, kid, it's OK now, you can rest assured."

"No, our project is not a regular project, I need it." Ye Wei's sincere face was full of heart, and he began to worry because he became more and more aware that something was wrong, "I don't understand why not?"

"Remastering a contract is a hassle. We have to let the lawyer do a lot of work, which will take a long time..." Refujin was vague and knew it was a lie at first.

"No trouble, just add a clause." said lawyer Salton, and Ye Wei frowned, "I don't want to joke about this matter, please!"

Revkin was silent for a while, with no smile on his face and a look of disappointment in his eyes, "Boy, just these three contracts, the only thing you have to do now is to sign it, take it home and ask your parents to sign it too, and then hand it over to us."

"I want that clause!" Ye Wei's voice was a little anxious.

"You won't get it." Revkin's face became heavier and heavier. Ye Wei asked anxiously: "Why?" Revkin shook his head, looking at a willful child crying, and sighed: "Don't do this, you will make it difficult for everyone to do, do you understand?"

"No, I don't understand!" Ye Wei was panicked and angry, and he couldn't help but punch the desk. The letter was true... How could it be true...

Revkin still looked at him caring and thoughtfully: "As a person who has been in the film industry for many years and a person who has been in the adult society for many years, my advice to you is to learn to pretend to be stupid. You must understand that only by suffering some losses now can you have a bright future."

"What are you talking about..." Ye Wei's heart kept sinking, and his words trembled a little: "Have there any change?"

"You will know in the future if you sign the contract!"

Ye Wei shouted: "Then, fire me immediately and give me the title of assistant producer and assistant director? What happened?!"

"Something happened." Revkin spread his hands helplessly.

"Is this what Mr. Willis mean?" Ye Wei closed his eyes and a suffocating aura quickly gathered in his chest. "Do he know? Whose meaning? Lowett? He is not satisfied. I don't agree with his love hype plan! Or Mr. Bloch...who does that mean?!"

Revkin did not answer, but said, "I'll sign it and say anything. I promise you that you will never suffer any loss. Why does the Dream Chasing Alliance have 10% shares? Is this clear enough? Boy, this is a project starring Bruce Willis! 10% shares!"

No, if there is one place to deceive people in the contract, there can be two places to deceive people... Ye Wei turned his head to look at lawyer Salton, and suddenly understood what the saying "Don't trust anyone" means. Is the current situation part of their plan? Who can trust it?

Looking at this sharp gaze, Lawyer Salton looked ashamed, "But, I really didn't participate, it was because I was low-level... almost made them succeed..."

"Yes, it's not his business." Revkin shrugged, "Boy, besides shares, you will also become an idol."

"Who cares about idols, all I care about is filming movies!" Ye Wei felt heartbroken, tried his best to suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want now? Just tell me clearly, don't use such despicable means to cheat my project! It's impossible. If it weren't for my producer and director, no one would take "The Little Beauty of Sunshine"!"

"Oh!" Revkin shook his head, his tone changed again, and he was as cold as an enemy: "Boy, this is your choice. Everyone's face is not good-looking, and it is also your choice."

He picked up the landline on the table, pressed a number, and said, "That boy discovered it, he refused to sign it. Come and get it done."

Who... who!? Ye Wei took a deep breath, like a bull who was angry but tied to death. He was so angry that he wanted to lift the desk, but he couldn't move, so he could only clench his fists and tremble.

What they want to do, these people, who are these people, what they want to do...

The office was silent. Not long after, the door was opened and Richard Lowett walked in. He was wearing a gray casual suit and round-framed glasses. He was still like a high school teacher, but there was a clear hint of coldness and impatience on his face.

Before he could sit down, he scolded Ye Wei and said, "Boy, why are you so disobedient? What capital do you have to be so disobedient?"

"Sir, if you have anything to say directly, stop talking nonsense..." Ye Wei's eyes were like burning flames.

These so-called big men, the intimate mentors he once thought, suddenly turned into poisonous snakes, spitting out letters, and they would bite him to death and swallow him at any time...

Lowett pulled a chair, sat down on the other side, looked at Ye Wei, and suddenly laughed: "Sometimes, I really hate dreamers like you. They are so smart, but they just don't know how to be smarter. They talk about dreams all day long, and in the end they waste your talents and your youth!

When you become someone, you spit in my face and I dare not scold you, but who are you now? You are nothing! If you continue to make trouble, you will not get anything!"

"You just need to... tell me the truth!" Ye Wei couldn't suppress it anymore.

Lowett leaned against the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and while turning, he said, "Things have changed. David Linde, the co-chair of Focus Film, do you know him?"

He invited an Oscar-level director to direct the project. I won't tell you who it is, but that man can bring "The Little Sunshine Beauty" to the Oscar stage! They had dinner with Bruce, and Bruce changed his mind.

You know that an actor who has the best actor in the Academy Awards is not even nominated for a decent award because he is positioned as an action star by the public. There is no "Hart's War", "Returning Me to Innocence"... There is not even "The Sixth Sense of Supernaturalness"! Do you know what that mood is?

I know! Bruce has been very unwilling to accept this over the years. When he was a Broadway substitute, he dreamed of going onto the Oscar stage. He has been waiting for such an opportunity. Yes, you need opportunities, and he also needs opportunities! An opportunity that can make his dream come true.

Now the opportunity has come. He doesn't want to miss it, nor can he miss it. If he missed it, maybe he will never have another chance in his life. Today is March, he will be 50 years old! Boy, although he doesn't like to hear these words, his age is not good. He is getting old. He is not Eastwood. He is afraid that he will grow old and he can't wait any longer."

Listening to these, Ye Wei's expression changed repeatedly, and something was completely broken, "You mean, Mr. Willis... I know you want to lie to me, no, he has a share..."

Rifkin shrugged, while Lowet on the side smiled, as if he was amused by his childishness, and said, "Don't use this word, even if it is, it's a lie of kindness. We just went around this circle to make you feel better. You should thank this."

"Hahaha!!" Ye Wei laughed in anger, almost burst into tears, "Gentlemen, are you crazy? The script is mine!"

Lowett smiled and raised his hand, "Boy, listen to me. Although your position has changed, we will continue the plan of "Genius Ye Wei" and Bruce is really thinking about you. He emphasized this point to us repeatedly and cannot let you suffer.

So with this win-win method, short video photos, column photos, and romance hype will be cancelled. I have investigated that the public is not very interested in you. The combination of Asian boys and white girls may even have a counterproductive effect, making you all laughed at. If the woman can't stand it and dump you, then you will be a loser. Regardless of whether you want it or not, this plan does not apply.

It’s better to follow the pure talent route. You can make a high-quality 10-minute short film in half a year, right? "The Little Sunshine Beauty" will have your position, assistant producer, guest actor, and a good title. If the big director agrees, you will also be a guest director. Let you shoot one or two scenes, which may not be included in the release version, but there must be one on the DVD.

In this way, you cooperate with us in media promotion, be good to you, be good to the project and everyone.”

"Haha, you're so funny, hahaha..." Ye Wei kept laughing and looking around them, "The best of both worlds! To put it really sounds good, give me a few useless titles, squeeze out a little bit of my publicity value, and then what? The pure talent route is not applicable! And Willis and the great director work together to go to the Oscar stage, and dreams come true, it's great!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely create your image as a talented man with high IQ. Little Woody Allen, such Asian boys, everyone likes them more." Lowett promised.

"Woody Allen is a scumbag who fucks his daughter, don't compare him with me!" Ye Wei suddenly shouted, "High IQ?! Only a fool would agree to these bullshits!"

"Calm down, boy, look, this is why we use kind-hearted lies. We will continue to work together in the future. If you make such a fuss, who is good-looking?"

Lowett shook his head again and said earnestly: "I will teach you another rule in the film industry. This industry is actually very small. The higher you go to the top, the more you will be like this. You will encounter these people you face today, more than once! If you don't want to be kicked out by Hollywood, be polite. Even if you are angry, you have to endure it and laugh."

"Don't I want to slap you a few times now, but look at me, am I angry?" He smiled and raised his palm and sucked the air a few times.

"I agree, this is an iron rule." Revkin nodded.

Ye Wei gritted his teeth. If he hadn't endured it, he would have pounced on and beat these despicable guys up...

"You don't want to agree. The question is, why do you refuse?" Lowett laughed again, shaking his legs slightly, "Boy, I'll analyze it for you.

As long as you agree, you will at least be a talented man, and your capital will increase. In this way, you may become a feature film director in less than five years. You are just not filming "The Little Beauty of Sunshine". By then, you will be only 20 years old and your future will be bright.

And you refuse, CAA doesn’t sign you, and PR doesn’t sign you, talented people, geniuses, these are always just pretty fantasies. The worst thing is that when you are 20 years old, you are just a student in the film academy at most.”

Lowett paused, his tone gradually became ruthless:

"Because you keep being stubborn, many big names will be angry. I? I am just a little person, but David Lind Bruce? That big director? Or who is from CAA? All the people who have suffered their interests because of your stupidity!

Maybe, I mean maybe, if you don’t know when you will be punished, what other big shots do you think you can find to value you and invest in you? Do you want to do overseas pre-sales? Do you want to raise funds? You will be strangely discovered that no company will pay attention to you!

It only takes a few calls, and we don’t even need to use any tricks. Do we need to? Do we need to suppress you and resist you? Who are you?

Boy, be smarter! It’s not the time yet. I’ve said it many times. Now is not the time for you to make trouble!"

At the same time, lawyer Salton's face turned pale. He was obviously fine just now, how could this situation be...

Is it threatening and temptation? I don’t know when Ye Wei looked calm and lost his soul, and he was very powerless.

These people are poisonous snakes, more poisonous than Harmon and Gail. Compared with these people's methods, they are just small flies, and these people... are poisonous snakes...

Those "our own people" value, trust, and appreciation are all fake, and those happiness, happiness, and...

When he spoke again, Ye Wei's voice was a little hoarse: "I'm not afraid of your threat. Do you think I really don't understand? No one in the film industry has ruling hegemony, and it will never be there, because works are the greatest power... I'm not afraid of you, nor do I care about them. I don't care about any talented idol."

"Hey!" Both of them were helpless because of his stubbornness. Revkin covered his forehead, Lowet spread his hands and said:

"You don't care about it. What about your family? Is your family's financial situation good? We all know that your father works so hard and goes to work on weekends. Do you have the heart to bear it? Your mother? Your sister? Are they doing well?
To be continued...
