Chapter 929

"She didn't make it through emergency care; she died," Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yan He over the phone.

Lu Yan He was silent for a long time after hearing this.

It wasn't that he felt sad or regretful—that wasn't the case.

It was simply a silence regarding death.

Now, his legal relatives in this world were all dead.

If you don't count Feng Xiu, his nominal aunt, and his nominal younger brother.

"What does Feng Xiu say?"

"She and her son are going to the United States next week."

"The United States?" Lu Yan He was startled. "Did you arrange that?"

"No," Chen Ziyan denied. "It was Chen Pinhe."

Lu Yan He's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Chen Pinhe? How did he get involved in this?"

"I revealed Feng Xiu's threat against you to him," Chen Ziyan said. "He won't allow this threat to exist."

Lu Yan He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say; he hesitated.

Chen Ziyan: "What do you want to ask?"

"Never mind, it's nothing."

If he asked, could he accept Chen Ziyan's answer?

Must he know the truth?

Lu Yan He said, "Sister Ziyan, Chen Pinhe might not necessarily think that everything is over just because Feng Xiu and her son went to the United States."

Chen Ziyan: "What do you mean?"

"They must have regretted not drowning me in the river back then," Lu Yan He said. "That would have been the way to settle it once and for all."

Chen Ziyan: "This matter was arranged entirely by Chen Pinhe; Zhang Yuezhen was unaware."

"Oh?"

"I wanted to test what Chen Pinhe would actually do," Chen Ziyan said. "I have always remembered your business, I haven't forgotten, and neither has Officer Qiu Ling. Actually, I have occasionally been in contact with her over the past few years. She has also kept in mind the incident where you were pushed into the river back then and has been trying to investigate to see if she could find anything new. Because we had a suspect, many things could be investigated more specifically. However, we didn't tell you until we found something truly valuable."

Lu Yan He was startled.

"Are you suspecting that Zhang Yuezhen did that?"

Chen Ziyan said, "Compared to Chen Pinhe, Zhang Yuezhen is more suspicious."

"Why?"

"Chen Pinhe was not in the country when that happened," Chen Ziyan said. "Of course, that doesn't mean he is completely cleared of suspicion; he could have instructed someone else to do it. I just feel that under those circumstances, he had no need to take the risk. After all, at that time, you didn't pose any threat to him; you were even about to retire from the industry."

Lu Yan He suddenly realized.

He understood.

Chen Pinhe had been looking for people to suppress him, trying to force him to retire from the entertainment industry. Before any conflict escalated, Chen Pinhe actually wouldn't have suddenly wanted to "wipe him out." This didn't fit a normal logic.

"Feng Xiu and her son went to the United States, and Chen Pinhe will definitely arrange for people to watch them; I have also arranged for people to watch them in secret," Chen Ziyan said. "It just depends on what Zhang Yuezhen does after she finds out about this. If we can lure the snake out of its hole, then the incident from back then can be dug up again."

Lu Yan He: "Sister Ziyan, is that why you revealed it to Chen Pinhe?"

"To be honest, I did it so I wouldn't dirty my own hands," Chen Ziyan said. "I only hope that you are all right and won't be dragged down by these rotten people."

"Maybe this world also has conservation of matter; the rotten people I've met are so rotten that I was able to meet you," Lu Yan He said.

"Oh my, I've got goosebumps."

"Maybe it's because you're getting older and your skin isn't smooth anymore," Lu Yan He laughed. "Hurry up and get some skincare."

"Get lost, get lost, get lost."

At this time, news came from Darren Wilson: for Lu Yan He to star in "Moon Legion," Bolai could offer Lu Yan He a salary of 25 million dollars, but Lu Yan He would not participate in any subsequent profit sharing.

Lu Yan He asked, is this reasonable?

Darren said that because "Moon Legion" is a huge IP in itself, its lead actors have almost never received profit sharing.

Lu Yan He asked, has no first-tier actor ever received it?

Darren said that mainly, no super-first-tier actor has taken on a "Moon Legion" series movie during their peak, so there is no reference.

Lu Yan He thought for a moment and said, then do you think I should accept it?

Darren said, if you cannot participate in any subsequent profit sharing, then a salary of 25 million dollars is definitely not enough. Your appeal in the Asian region alone is worth more than this salary.

Lu Yan He thought to himself, 25 million dollars has also become "this salary." Of course, given his current status in Hollywood, matching the "Moon Legion" IP, 25 million dollars is indeed "this salary" compared to its box office, which starts at 1 billion dollars.

Lu Yan He asked, then what is your opinion?

Darren said, "Moon Legion" is indeed a huge IP, and it is very difficult for the lead actor to participate in the box office share. This IP does not rely on actors. If Lu Yan He accepts, he is prepared to negotiate in the direction of a bonus.

Lu Yan He said, that's fine.

Darren said, this project should be the last Hollywood project he helps him negotiate.

As soon as Lu Yan He heard this, he knew that Darren must have decided to go to D19.

He asked: "Then when are you going?"

Darren said: "After the new year. Before that, there is some work to hand over, including a lot of your work."

After Darren Wilson, Lu Yan He needs to find someone else to act as his agent in Europe and America.

Darren Wilson actually recommended someone, and Chen Ziyan also looked for someone.

Chen Ziyan said that according to the situation in Hollywood, Lu Yan He shouldn't have only one agent serving him now. Therefore, he can meet everyone later and assign different business sectors to different agents based on their areas of expertise.

"In this way, Wang Biao can take charge," Chen Ziyan said. "Wang Biao is doing a great job now, but at the business level, he hasn't had the opportunity to get involved in higher-level work; this is an opportunity."

Lu Yan He nodded.

"That's fine, I also think this is better. This way, I actually only need to communicate with Wang Biao and don't need to communicate with so many people."

"Yes," Chen Ziyan nodded. "When Darren Wilson first became your agent, he had a high status in Hollywood, and you were just a newcomer who had just arrived, so his voice was definitely greater. But times have changed, and it's better to keep the initiative in your own hands. Especially in the position you are in now, if someone puts a little thought into it, it's a huge interest. In Hollywood, you can't expect everyone to do things by the rules; dividing and conquering is also a way to make them check and balance each other."

"Okay." After Lu Yan He finished speaking, he sighed, "Things have been much better recently; everything is rushing together."

"It will be better once the concert is held."
