You will have to discuss that with Jason.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, Jason has been in charge of this matter the whole time, and I also very much hope you can bring Qin to the United States.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve was not surprised to hear this and hurriedly looked at Jason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were full of pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jason, I beg you to let me go to China once. I want to apologize to Qin in person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“*The Matrix* is truly too beautiful. I want to ask him how he conceived it and exchange ideas with him on the development of film.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The executives present did not speak, turning instead to look at Jason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed like just an opportunity to meet Qin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, it was of great significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If *The Matrix* were truly successful, then Qin Yu’s status would rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving from China to Hollywood would be no problem at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warner Bros. and other Hollywood film companies would all welcome him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although discrimination still exists in the United States.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But making money is what matters most; as long as you can make money for capital, never mind that you are Chinese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you were a pig or a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would still treat you as an honored guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capitalism is just that simple and direct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A director with infinite potential also provides a great boost to the Warner Bros. executives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a very good connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be of great use for Steve’s future promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the same was true for Jason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they all wanted to see how Jason would choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he would refuse or agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the higher-ups were quite interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason, sitting in his seat, was silent for a moment before saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Steve, Qin has a rather peculiar personality. I am worried that you and he might have a conflict, so perhaps it would be better to forget it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In two days, when *The Matrix* hits the expected box office in North America, I can go to China again myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason was not stupid; he did not want to hand Qin Yu over to Steve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, but Jason, I am a sensitive person. I really want to apologize to Qin in person; it was almost because of me that a conflict arose with Qin in the first place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve looked as if he were about to cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I implore you to give me this chance. How about this: I will go with you as your assistant, how about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jason’s ability to keep his cool was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still cursed Steve up and down in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utterly shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such a thick-skinned person!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously wondered why Steve, with no real talent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was able to hold onto the position of Head of Production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jason let out a long sigh; Steve’s reasons were too sound, and he had almost no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was a hundred percent unwilling, he could only nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you are so sincere, Steve, I can agree, but I hope you will follow the rules of the game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will definitely comply. I am only going to apologize. Oh, by the way, in China, it should be called ‘carrying a rod to ask for punishment’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other executives present also laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would Steve follow the rules of the game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a chance. Don’t look at how readily he agreed now; if he gets a chance later, he will definitely try to hook up with Qin in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really followed the rules of the game, Steve wouldn’t have made it this far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jason was smart and capable, he underestimated the shamelessness of human nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve would teach Jason a very good lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, that’s decided. But wait a moment, Jason, you are responsible for spreading the word about *The Matrix* over the next two days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope you can bring me a surprise.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, BOSS.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under another round of promotion by Warner Bros., many people in the United States became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They planned to go see today what kind of good film this genius director from China had made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Penny, let’s go. I’m treating tonight. How about we go watch *The Matrix* and then go to a bar afterwards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But my group project isn’t finished yet, Cindy. Maybe next time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful Cindy tugged at her friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s Qin, you know! Have you forgotten *Now You See Me* from last time? It was filmed so well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I read some things that Chinese classmates were saying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The response to *The Matrix* in China has been especially good; it even broke their country’s box office record.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Penny actually liked Qin too; the last film, *Now You See Me*, had left a very deep impression on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, *The Matrix* was also written, directed, and starred in by Qin himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at her homework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Penny struggled for a moment and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, stop pulling me. I’ll go, okay? But it’s agreed that you’re treating, and we don’t need to go to the bar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just treat me to a meal in the evening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two of them got ready and arrived at a nearby cinema half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, there are quite a few people.” Penny looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember last time Qin’s film was released, there was hardly anyone there; there were only a few people in the whole theater.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cindy also smiled when she heard this; it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When *Now You See Me* was released, there really weren’t many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The theater for over two hundred people was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even one-fifth full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, there were quite a lot of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, look.” Cindy pointed to the poster next to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last time Qin’s film barely made it on, but now it’s actually ranked second. It’s very impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, I’ve already booked two 3D tickets, it’s about to start.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two of them picked up their tickets, they bought some popcorn and cola.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, they entered the theater.\u003C\u002Fp>",1123,"2026-06-15T03:00:56.621Z",1,"GLM-5.1","9eec993b50635ff7ccc05b1eafdfe1684331afe9dc355203fc5845e3b7e8d353","entertainment-the-biggest-scum-produces-the-most-chapter-224","entertainment-the-biggest-scum-produces-the-most-chapter-222",266,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fentertainment-the-biggest-scum-produces-the-most-cover.jpg"]
