Chapter 292

On the morning of the 29th, the "Tangshan Earthquake" crew and the Inquiry Realm Hope School Donation Foundation gathered in Rongcheng.

This trip, on the one hand, is to formally accept the completed Shuimo Town Primary School and Middle School, to promote and popularize the aid work more thoroughly, and to do a good job in quality control.

On the other hand, the crew will make its first collective appearance to participate in public welfare activities such as earthquake escape, self-rescue drills, and lectures.

After the later film officially starts roadshows, it will be normalized, and a portion of funds will be extracted from overseas box office profits to sponsor such popular science activities.

Taking pains, just to sow a few more seeds of hope before that day comes.

At 10 a. m., the stars of "Tangshan Earthquake," including director Lu Kuan and actors Song Jia, Hu Jun, Zhou Xun, and Wang Wang Baoqiang, put on volunteer uniforms and walked into Rongcheng Caotang Primary School.

The school received them grandly, thanked them, and accepted the earthquake escape-related books, manuals, first aid kits, and other materials donated by the Earthquake Organizing Committee.

After the school leaders spoke, earthquake experts explained through vivid and interesting videos and picture books, taking primary school students to understand the danger zones and safety zones when an earthquake occurs.

They also carried out multiple publicity links, including escape skill demonstrations and earthquake knowledge interactive Q&A, before leaving for the next school.

Although the crew's staff and stars didn't quite understand the intention of this arrangement, due to Boss Lu's absolute authority, everyone cooperated willingly.

In the afternoon, accompanied by leaders from Aba Prefecture, Wuchuan County, and Shuimo Town, the large group came to the newly completed Hope Primary School to hold the completion unveiling ceremony.

Witnessed by media such as "Rongcheng Business Daily," "Huaxi City Daily," blog network, and Inquiry Realm Video, two brand-new teaching buildings appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The joy overflowing on the children's gray little faces, the eggs, tea, and local specialties that the villagers refused to stop giving.

And that courtyard wall that was knocked down and repaired by oneself, and the national flag fluttering high.

How gratifying and solid it looks!

Earthquake experts were conducting interactive introductions as usual, and Boss Lu and Zhou Xun were collecting wind on the Tea Horse Ancient Road near the tea mountain.

"How did you think of coming here at that time?"

"Fan Fan Jianchuan told me that the tea here is good. I am a tea lover."

Zhou Xun looked at Lu Kuan wearing sunglasses and was strange: "Why have you been wearing sunglasses today?"

"My eyes have been broken recently. I've been cutting films too much. I cry when I see the sun now."

"The doctor told me to avoid light. It will be fine in a while."

Zhou Xun suddenly gossiped: "Qianqian is going to the United States. Yesterday she called me and Zhou Jielun to her house for dinner. Why didn't you go?"

"Me go? I'm afraid of being kicked out by her."

"Don't look at her thin arms and thin legs. After practicing with Yuan Yuan Heping, she is very strong. It hurts to hit people!"

Zhou Xun was laughed at by the young director's cowardly look. It is not easy for outsiders to see his face now.

She is naturally a clear-minded person, and she does not intervene or interrupt in the affairs between Lu Kuan and Liu Liu Yifei.

The phosphorus-type personality knows best what kind of ghost emotion is. It is really a place that no one can see clearly except the parties involved, and there is no way to reason.

"Why have you been looking at your phone? Is someone looking for you?"

Boss Lu's ghost talk came out: "Yes, I made an appointment with a venture capitalist to meet in Beiping to find funds for the mall project."

In fact, he was waiting for the leak of the Olympic plan on the internet.

Zhang Nara's video and photo attacks caused Zhou Jun's backyard to catch fire. He now only has to cut the mess quickly and cut off the possibility of his successful bidding.

But he has had the materials for two or three days. If he doesn't send it on the 30th, then he may really not be prepared to send it.

The plan being leaked from the Inquiry Realm and being selected by the Organizing Committee after reporting and then being leaked are two different things. The severity cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

Boss Lu is prepared to add fire to him.

On the evening of the 29th, due to the earthquake public welfare publicity activities carried out by the "Tangshan Earthquake" crew in Sichuan Province, as well as the good deeds of the Inquiry Realm Hope School donation, the Provincial Education Department and the Civil Affairs Department came forward to jointly banquet the guests from afar.

Before the banquet started, the president of Inquiry Realm Holdings accepted interviews from many media, talking about the Olympic bidding matters that would be finalized at the end of the month, and appeared full of confidence.

Lu Kuan stated that the Inquiry Realm team had studied and polished as many as 50 or 60 program plans, and finally selected the best, and was ready to submit and state the bid.

Reporters learned that this time the Inquiry Realm team's plan will have both magnificent cultural connotations and gorgeous and dynamic modern technology, and will definitely try its best to contribute to the motherland's Olympic cause.

Push flow, publicity, stimulate Zhou Jun!

On the 30th, the crew and the Hope School donation group continued to work tirelessly, running through all the more than 20 schools in this public welfare activity, and inspected and checked the 12 completed teaching buildings.

In the evening, Mayor Ge of Rongcheng attended in person to express his gratitude to Lu Kuan and his party and to see them off.

As a film and television company, Inquiry Realm's own influence in local government is limited.

But since "Tangshan Earthquake" went viral in the mode of film cooperation, through the construction of Tangshan's local commercial street and film shooting base, the holding of the global launch conference, and the global premiere, it has greatly enhanced the city's popularity and reputation.

Especially the shooting progress and tidbits constantly publicized in media such as Inquiry Realm Video and Tourism Satellite TV.

This made the leaders of Rongcheng somewhat jealous!

At the banquet, Mayor Ge accompanied them in person. They were all veterans of the wine scene, and the two bottles of Jiannanchun on the table were sold out in an instant.

"Director Lu, I've been trendy recently and went to check out your Inquiry Realm Video."

"The 'Tangshan' shooting tidbits you sent are really shocking. It made me cry."

This refers to the night scene of the big explosion. The big scene where the survivors and the descendants of the survivors appeared in their true colors was extremely shocking.

The tidbits released in advance are also constantly warming up for the New Year file three months later.

Mayor Ge was slightly drunk and had some feelings about the glorious years of the past: "In fact, around those years in Tangshan, earthquakes were also frequent here."

Hu Jun asked curiously: "Mayor Ge, Rongcheng is so far away, is there an earthquake feeling?"

"It has nothing to do with Tangshan. Since 1976, there have been warnings from time to time. At that time, almost every family in our Sichuan province had slept in earthquake sheds."

Looking at Mayor Ge's somewhat lingering face, it is clear that he has experienced a cold bone.

This is a good thing, which is more conducive to the promotion of Inquiry Realm's donation and earthquake escape popular science.

Mayor Ge remembered Tangshan's current momentum due to this film, and also somewhat eagerly said: "Director Lu, look at your cooperation mode with Tangshan, can we copy it?"

"You decide the professional things, take out a notebook, pull up a team, and we will cooperate fully!"

Boss Lu was suddenly hooked by his train of thought.

It is not uncommon in later generations to drive local reputation, hit city business cards, and promote tourism development through cultural industries.

As far as the film industry is concerned, there are many successful cases.

The Shire where the Hobbits lived in the film "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed in the town of Matamata, New Zealand. The poetic and picturesque pastoral scenery there perfectly integrated with the fantasy world in the film, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

After the film was released, the town of Matamata quickly became a pilgrimage site for "Lord of the Rings fans" around the world. Tourists flocked to experience the scenes in the film in person, promoting the vigorous development of local tourism.

The town also developed a series of tourism projects related to "The Lord of the Rings," such as Hobbiton tours, film scene tours, etc., further enhancing tourism attractiveness.

"Avatar" swept the world with its shocking visual effects and the fantasy Pandora world.

Among them, about half an hour of the screen is the "Hallelujah Mountain" with the Zhangjiajie quartz sandstone peak forest as the background. This unique Chinese element makes the film more mysterious and also allows Zhangjiajie's beautiful scenery to be displayed in front of global audiences.

In early 2010, Zhangjiajie established the "Avatar Theme Tour Comprehensive Affairs Office" and launched the "Avatar Tour," combining 15 scenes in the film, and launched multiple tourism routes. The attractions include Zhangjiajie's Huangshizhai, Jinbianxi, Yuanjiajie, and other scenic spots.

There are also Hokkaido in "If You Are the One," Chiang Mai in "Lost in Thailand," and the mountain city in "I Belonged to You."

But there are very few themes and features that are 100% consistent like "Tangshan Earthquake," at most it is embedded as a city soft advertisement.

"Mayor Ge, in fact... it doesn't have to be a movie."

"You have also seen the interface and content of Inquiry Realm Video. We can do some variety shows and combine Rongcheng's hot pot, ancient Shu civilization, panda, and other cultural elements."

"Oh?" Mayor Ge became interested, pulling the young director to chat while drinking.

The guests and hosts were happy. The government was full of wine scene veterans. This meal made Boss Lu drink enough, and he returned to his room very late.

Rongcheng at the end of August was still in high temperature weather. Lu Kuan woke up at 3 a. m. to find water and opened the window to smoke.

Because the air humidity is relatively high, the whole person is dizzy.

After 12 a. m., it is now the 31st, and Zhou Jun has not acted yet.

Has he really given up?

But with his personality of reporting every grievance and his arrogance of boasting of being a royal family, can he let go of such a great opportunity?

In the choice of leakage time, standing from Zhou Jun's position, it is actually somewhat hesitant.

Leaking too early, he is worried that the Inquiry Realm can immediately come up with a new plan. Although the possibility is not great, he is not willing to take risks.

Leaking too late, it can't create the illusion of an accident. This is clearly aimed at the Inquiry Realm bidding team, right?!

He doesn't have a God's eye view, of course he doesn't know that the gunpowder primer Sun Sun Wenwen has successfully left the country and can no longer be touched or seen.

For Lu Kuan at this moment, if he really wants to drag Zhou Jun into the water and drown him this time, he can even choose to leak it himself.

It's just that the risk is huge, and it's somewhat not worth the loss.

The mobile phone on the table vibrated without warning. The cigarette ash in Boss Lu's hand shook, and he grabbed the phone and flipped it open.

Calling in the middle of the night? Not sure if it's...

"Lu! I'm Steve! Good news!"

Damn, that kid Chen Chen Shijun.

"Hmm? Better be good news. I was just woken up from a sweet dream by you."

"Yahoo's Jerry Yang contacted me and wants to buy Mytube!"

"What price?"

"1.2 billion dollars."

Boss Lu crushed the cigarette butt fiercely: "He is dreaming of eating shit!"

Chen Chen Shijun didn't understand: "Ah?"

In the original timeline, YouTube was sold to Google for 1.45 billion dollars in 2006. At that time, Jerry Yang and Yahoo were also the first company to contact, because the price was not negotiated and gave up.

Currently, Yahoo's CEO Terry is the former CEO of Warner, which is the China-based Warner that Yanda Huayi participates in. During his tenure at Warner, he made this one of the top six Hollywood companies one of the top three in the world in terms of company scale and entertainment products.

And Yahoo recruited him mainly because Terry had experience working at Warner and Disney, which is of great significance to Yahoo, which is currently ranked first in the United States in music videos.

Similarly, it is also because Yahoo has the goal of further growing in this track, and it has also become interested in the booming Mytube, similar to Deng Wendi Deng.

"The valuation given by Wall Street analysts is only 1.2 billion. Now the premium base of internet companies in the North American market is 50%. Is Jerry Yang a bit too big?"

Chen Chen Shijun smiled bitterly: "We talked about it preliminarily."

"Terry has been staring at the profit model and the increasingly huge copyright fees as an excuse. It is difficult for us to avoid these two dead knots."

While Mytube is growing wildly, it naturally has limitations. In addition to the incurable diseases mentioned by Chen Chen Shijun, audit risks and the flooding of vulgar content are also a major defect.

This kind of defect limits the enthusiasm of high-end product advertisers. After all, no one will open a gold shop in front of a stinking latrine. Of course, this is an exaggeration.

"Don't worry, keep dragging, find financial reporters to write articles, poke out the fact that Yahoo and News Corp are interested in us, and raise the price."

"Also, write AOL, Viacom, Google, etc. into it. Regardless of whether they have contacted, raise the price, raise the price, and raise the price!"

Chen Chen Shijun deeply understood the leader's intention, but there was still one important thing to report: "Boss Lu, look at the video of Crystal?"

"Oh, soon, don't worry, and don't always rely on her. Raise those Indian accounts well."

Little Liu's account is basically based on Chinese drainage, but the customer potential of Ah San in Mytube is the largest.

The second phase of Mytube video is about Chinese swordsmanship. Following the trend, it was directed by Wu Wu Ershan, the director of "Zhu Xian 2." After filming, Little Liu will fly to the United States for pre-shooting training for "Alien 2."

The studio and Inquiry Realm negotiate publicly, which is the result of mutual compromise.

Boss Lu recalled the happy years of whoring in the middle of the night, only saying that it was already lost at that time.

Let's look at the three key buyers of Mytube in the North American market.

Deng Wendi Deng is naturally the number one licking dog, but he doesn't want the shares of Myspace, and it seems she is not very willing to pay cash.

Yahoo is too short-sighted. In 2000, the internet bubble burst, Yahoo was hit, its market value shrank significantly, and then in the confrontation with emerging competitors such as Google, Yahoo's search business gradually lost its advantage, and its market share was constantly eroded.

The resulting strategic mistakes in the search business and excessive expansion and scattered industrial lines completely dragged down this old internet company.

Among them, the most talked about in later generations is that Yahoo once acquired Facebook for 1 billion around 2006, but at the last moment, the price was suppressed to 850 million dollars, and the acquisition plan was ruined.

Two months later, Yahoo resubmitted an acquisition offer, but was rejected by Facebook's board of directors.

In this regard, the Red Leader once scolded Yahoo privately that everyone from Jerry Yang to Terry was a fool, a group of short-sighted idiots.

Facing the price expectation of less than 2 billion proposed by Lu Kuan, Jerry Yang and Terry are estimated to be difficult to accept.

The rest is Google, which is also the buyer Boss Lu wants to sell most. He is greedy for Google's shares.

Mainly because Google acquired the Android company founded by Andy Rubin in the first half of this year. If he can hold a share of Google, get a piece of the pie in this track, and have some say, it is naturally a good chess piece for future layout of mobile internet.

Boss Lu smoked two cigarettes and slept again, but before half an hour, the phone buzzed in his ear again.

Could this be?

He squinted and looked for two seconds. Chen Chen Shijun, this kid is crazy, it's him again.

"Hello? Better be someone who has quoted again. You woke up my spring dream this time."

"Hello?"

Chen Chen Shijun on the other end of the phone mumbled for a long time before confirming something and screamed: "Lu, your Olympic plan!"

"What?"

"Your Olympic plan! It's spread in the United States! It's on Mytube!"

Boss Lu was shocked. Zhou Jun, this old kid, is careful enough. Like himself, he started playing "blooming outside the wall but fragrant inside."

"Tell me in detail."

Chen Chen Shijun pulled the progress bar: "Hmm... the title is the opening ceremony plan of the 2008 Beiping Olympic Games, but I saw your name and team name at the beginning."

"The video is the program effect diagram and 3D display diagram of your plan, as well as some text descriptions, including the feasibility analysis of the ignition plan."

"In short, it's quite detailed."

Boss Lu roared: "Good... good killer, ruined my big event!"

"Okay, I'll hang up first, talk later!"

He got up directly and opened the computer without hanging a proxy to watch foreign websites.

Sure enough, the intranet also began to pour into "suspected Beiping Olympic opening and closing ceremony plans" on the grounds of reprinting.

Zhou Jun grabbed this timing well!

Even if he didn't know it was a poisonous bait, choosing to leak at this time point made Lu Kuan somewhat difficult.

If the Inquiry Realm comes up with a perfect new plan, then the recording material is delivered and the incident happens. After Zhou Jun is dragged into the water, he can bite back. This is a trap deliberately set by Lu Kuan.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that a version of the plan not inferior to the leaked version was made in 10 hours?

If the Inquiry Realm cannot come up with a plan and reporting materials sufficient to convince the Organizing Committee, then his goal has been achieved. The possibility that Lu Kuan can be the general deputy director of the Olympic opening and closing ceremony is extremely low!

He can start to plan the dismantling and disintegration of the public opinion tools under the Inquiry Realm system.

If the original Olympic bidding work was a big exam for Boss Lu, now it is clearly an additional question added by Zhou Jun.

Forcing him to use more excellent eloquence, more perfect reporting, more fascinating program content, and some surprising ingenuity to use a "castrated version" of the plan content to bid.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Zhou Jun's background is special, and the opportunity to pull him down is precious. Lu Kuan chose to use the Olympic plan as bait to launch a counterattack against Zhou Jun, so he bore the risk of reporting failure;

But for Zhou Jun, this is also the only flaw revealed by Lu Kuan, who is more airtight than a steel plate. He also considers himself fully prepared:

Leaking on the foreign network, choosing this time node that makes Boss Lu extremely embarrassed.

"Sun Tzu's Marching Chapter" says: "If the guest crosses the water and comes, do not meet him in the water, let him cross half and hit him, it is beneficial."

What he did is the same as the "half-crossing attack" in Sun Tzu's Art of War.

He decisively dialed the phone to the newly appointed little assistant Chen Chen Zhixi.

"Hello? Boss Lu?"

The intern who was coaxed into the Inquiry Realm as a cow and horse with a movie role was going crazy.

996 work intensity is not enough, damn it, calling at 4 a. m.?

The man's voice on the other side of the microphone was low, and he was in a state of anger: "Call the police!"

"Ah?"

"Immediately call the police to the branch bureau, stating that you represent the Inquiry Realm Olympic opening and closing ceremony directional collection team, and now someone has deliberately leaked our company's plan, which has already been on the internet."

Chen Chen Zhixi was shocked: "Yes! Understood."

"By the way, notify the members of the Olympic plan group one by one, gather urgently at the company at 8 a. m., and I will go directly after I get off the plane."

"Received."

The sky was dawn. The members of the "Tangshan Earthquake" crew were still wandering in sweet dreams. Boss Lu and A Fei had already arrived at the airport early to wait.

Because of this accident, the cultural industry project meeting between the Inquiry Realm and the Rongcheng Municipal Government this morning was stranded.

Mayor Ge heard the bad news and specially coordinated a flight with the Civil Aviation through private relations.

Flight time is a public resource, and the government plays a leading role in time allocation.

Government leaders in popular tourist cities generally have a good relationship with the regional administration, and can apply for increased flight times for local airports according to prescribed procedures and priorities to arrange more flight shifts.

But there was a reason for the incident, plus Zhang Yuan Heping of the Organizing Committee personally called to coordinate, so he skipped the normal steps and had this precedent of special opening.

One minute earlier, there is one more chance for remedy.

There are still 12 hours left until the bidding deadline at 5 p. m.

Rongcheng to Beiping, plus the time to arrive at the company, is at least 4 hours. When the two were sleeping on the plane, this leak accident had already become rampant.

August this year seems to be more flowing than July.

From the Liu Yifei incident starting on the 25th, to Fan Bingbing posting a paternity test to clarify rumors, to Zhang Nara crying about being subjected to hidden rules by mainland background figures, the melon-eating masses in all walks of life were dazzled.

Today's one is clearly another heavy news.

——

At 6:30 a. m., Liu Liu Yifei had already woken up and finished washing.

Today is the day she leaves Beiping.

The luggage and items were already packed yesterday. Bored, she decided to log in to her blog that she hadn't touched for almost a week.

It's time to say goodbye to the fans and friends who have always supported and cared about her.

Just opened the blog network, the homepage is almost all video clips of her at Zhou Jielun's concert the day before yesterday, which has replaced Zhang Nara's video as the most popular topic.

These are all Yang Yang Siwei's credit, but the cooperation between the blog network and Inquiry Realm Video is also indispensable.

This time it's not who took advantage of whom.

She cooperated with the recording and filming of "The Voice" and Mytube videos to collect money, and the blog network and Inquiry Realm Video also collected money for her PR. It is a normal market transaction.

Looking at her blog fan count returning to 10.5 million, the difference between in and out can be considered purified.

Habitually equipped with an "ugly photo."

Little Liu is now a chicken soup girl:

【If the world sinks tomorrow, I will exchange torture with a smile! About to set off for North America to prepare for a new movie and a new life, love you forever!】

She replied to a few high-praise comments and interacted with fans on her theme website. These are basically done by Yang Yang Siwei with studio employees.

Just wanted to cross out the interface, a pop-up news from Penguin caught her attention.

"Inquiry Realm Olympic opening and closing ceremony bidding plan suspected of being leaked on the foreign network!"

Liu Liu Xiaoli's urging came from outside the door: "Qianqian, come out when you're ready. We'll arrive at the airport waiting room early."

"Ah, I know!"

Little Liu had the heart to ignore these words that made her still relatively sensitive, just wanted to cover the computer and get up, but couldn't help clicking on the news.

Penguin certainly didn't publish the leaked content, but if you look at Tianya and Maopu, it's already boiling.

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival" with large stage scene layout and many actors participating;

"Tai Chi," which embodies the philosophical thought of "unity of man and nature" and the values of pursuing harmony in traditional Chinese culture;

Programs of the Four Great Inventions projected on the stage background using advanced digital imaging technology...

Even if it's just 3D effect diagrams and simple special effects CG, combined with the brief introduction in the bidding document, programs full of cultural heritage and modern technology seem to have jumped on the screen.

Liu Liu Yifei is not an insider, but looking at the "lu" on the cover of the bilingual bidding document, and the replies of regret or gloating under the post, she naturally knows that Lu Kuan is in trouble.

It looks like a catastrophic trouble.

Liu Liu Xiaoli knocked on the door and came in: "Qianqian, why are you still dawdling? Come out for breakfast and get ready to go."

Little Liu was startled, quickly covered the computer, and walked out of the room thoughtfully.

Around 9:30, the mother and daughter arrived at Capital International Airport. Occasionally, fans who recognized her on the road asked for group photos and signatures, and she gladly followed.

Liu Liu Xiaoli slandered in her heart that her daughter's popularity was indeed affected this time. According to the previous posture, she would have been surrounded by water.

But at the corner in front of the VIP channel, they suddenly saw A Fei constantly pushing the reporters who were swarming up, and the onlookers were tireless.

The man who was surrounded in the middle and couldn't move with a helpless face was constantly rubbing his eyes under his sunglasses with his fingers.

Little Liu knew that he didn't wear watches or glasses, so this must be his eyes being sore and unbearable from cutting films again.

"Why is Little Lu here?"

Liu Liu Xiaoli was very surprised. Is it to send her daughter to the United States?

But now it is clearly not a suitable time to talk. The mother and daughter can only follow the crowded crowd and follow step by step.

"Director Lu! What is your opinion on the plan leak?"

"Boss Lu, is there a remedy for this incident?"

"Director Lu, do you think this leak is an insider or framed?" Liu Liu Xiaoli whispered to her daughter: "Inquiry Realm's Olympic plan leaked?!"

"How could this be?"

Little Liu looked at him being imprisoned by the crowd with complex expressions: "I just saw it in the morning."

She had never seen Lu Kuan look so helpless.

In front of herself, except for the first time filming "Whiplash" and encountering the backstabbing of Hong Kong actors, which was stranded for a few days, it was difficult to see his helpless and difficult state later.

More, it was his appearance of being free and easy in the shopping mall and the film world.

Little Liu thought at the moment he rubbed his eyes helplessly that he must have borne a lot of pressure, right?

Including the true ownership of the blog network, Lu Kuan did not deliberately hide anything from Liu Liu Yifei.

But for the confrontation with Liu Liu Zeyu, Zhou Jun, and the big and small Wangs under the water, he never mentioned it in front of Liu Liu Yifei.

Because it involved too much sinister, absurd, and dark, it was a merciless bayonet seeing red, tearing off bloody human skin masks one by one.

It is said that a grain of sand in the era is a mountain on an ordinary person.

Even if he is a traveler, the calculations, hunting, and sniping from the second generation are not easy things to deal with.

The bigger and sweeter the cake he makes, the more attacks and covetousness from abnormal channels.

If he hadn't built a closed loop of the industry that had taken shape, and sought more capital and confidence for himself in public opinion channels and international prestige, maybe the jackals would have been unable to help but pounce on him.

At this moment, looking at him who is close at hand and has no chance to travel together.

The complex image in Liu Liu Yifei's heart that makes her love deeply and hate deeply has become clearer.

A genius director who loves deeply, an artist, a business leader, with national righteousness, and a flag-bearer of film industrialization.

A bastard with strong control, a black hand behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, and a bastard with extravagant private life!

Perhaps, now we have to add a new label.

A bearer of heavy burdens.

"Passed the security check, Qianqian, no time to say hello to Little Lu."

It was easy to squeeze through the surging crowd. Liu Liu Xiaoli pulled her daughter and signaled her to pass the security check quickly.

"Wait! Right away!"

Little Liu took out her mobile phone, quickly turned to the SMS interface and entered a string of numbers.

Lu Kuan's number had been deleted by her. That is, the mobile phone didn't have a blacklist function now, otherwise it would have been a one-stop operation on the birthday night.

Input: I'm leaving.

Click send, close the cover.

The little girl put her mobile phone and bag into the tray to pass the security check, unable to help looking at him one last time.

Lu Kuan's mobile phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw the message, stunned for a second, then looked around, and locked onto the beautiful shadow in the crowd.

The two people wearing sunglasses looked at each other for a second, then one walked into the security channel, and the other squeezed out of the reporter crowd.

At that moment, I don't know if they can capture each other's hidden true feelings through their respective pitch-black optical glass.

——

Delayed by reporters for a while, the young director arrived at the Ideal International Building at almost ten o'clock.

In the conference room, the personnel of the previous Olympic bidding team group had not yet gathered.

Dragon, Michelle, and several other foreign nationals had returned to the United States after the last plan was finalized, temporarily ending their consulting work.

The atmosphere in the scene was solemn. The weather in July was flowing with fire, and the room was as quiet as if it could drip water into ice.

Boss Lu pushed the door in a hurry, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A team must have a leading brother and a backbone.

This bidding group was built by him, and Lu Kuan is the only authority.

"Have you confirmed it?"

Chen Chen Zhixi nodded with a serious expression: "Yes, it is indeed our previous bidding document, slightly changed but basically the same."

Boss Lu thought that this slight change might be Zhou Jun's cover-up.

Regardless of the leakage time, leakage channel, or leakage content, Zhou Jun has already done it to the extreme.

The young director slammed the table, his face blue: "Good! Everyone listen to me."

"I communicated with Director Zhang Yuan Heping on the way here. The bidding time before 5 p. m. cannot be changed. This is a national event and will not be transferred by the will of any unit or individual."

"The only thing we can do now is to quickly take out a relatively perfect plan according to the cultural route or technological route previously agreed upon for the remaining 40 or so programs!"

Lin Ying raised her hand to interrupt him: "Time! Time! Not enough time!"

She was also going crazy.

"Don't consider this problem too much." Boss Lu made a final decision.

"Everyone must remember that we are not a unit that signed up by ourselves, we are a unit that the Organizing Committee directionally collected bidding documents."

"The most important task today is to deliver a qualified bidding document to the Qinglan Building. As for the following bid statement work, I will do my best to obtain the recognition of the Organizing Committee."

"Once shortlisted, it is not impossible for us to continue to supplement materials."

"Butian Film is downstairs, now everyone is on standby, waiting for the order from our office."

He dragged the whiteboard and began to deploy tasks.

"Three parts of the bidding document, creative plan, budget plan, and technical plan."

"The creative plan is the simplest, because every program we discussed before is a combination of culture and technology, and the plan content is basically the same, just a little change."

Since the last program was finalized, Lu Kuan used some small thoughts and did not select the programs he thought were the best.

The so-called "no first in literature," this is not something worth delving into in the eyes of the team.

Most of the programs leaked this time are parts that Lu Kuan thinks are not 100% brilliant with the eyes of the Olympics in later generations, and will not have much impact on the real trump card he will take out next.

"Budget plan, Chen Chen Zhixi helps with the finance people. This is also not too time-consuming."

"The most difficult is the technical plan part."

Boss Lu looked at the mobile phone time: "Counting the delivery time on the road, we only have 5 and a half hours left."

"So in the technical plan and some creative special effects, we must make trade-offs, point out the key and unique core points, and let me dictate the rest to the leaders of the Organizing Committee!"

"Okay, everyone performs their duties below, I will go to Butian Film to participate in the production on the spot."

The moment the young director wrote on the whiteboard, the conference room that seemed to be frozen for three feet was thawed in an instant, the sound of tables and chairs dragging, accompanied by everyone's busy figures.

Lin Ying looked at his departing back with appreciation, very glad that she gave up the Li An team and chose the Inquiry Realm.

The vast sea is horizontal, only then can the hero's true colors be shown. The pressure of wanting to be the general deputy director of the Olympic Games is terrifying and unimaginable.

If you can't carry the pressure at such a critical moment today, even if you are in the position of general director, you may not be able to do it to the end.

The office location of the Organizing Committee in early 2001 was the New Bridge Hotel in Chongwenmen, later moved to the Qinglan Building in Dongsi Dongsi Shitiao, and will move to the Olympic Building on the middle road of the North Fourth Ring Road in 2006.

If the delivery location of today's bidding document is the Olympic Building, the Inquiry Realm can have one more hour of preparation time, because the distance from the Ideal International Building to the Olympic Building is only 4 kilometers.

But now the transit time needs to be excluded, at least one hour of safety time must be left.

Even if it is one second late, it is considered a bid abandonment.

This is a matter that countless eyes are staring at. Even if your Lu Kuan's plan is good, the scene today does not allow for favoritism.

Starting from 12 noon, the scene in front of the Qinglan Building was a scene of traffic.

Needless to say, the 14 teams participating in the directional collection, there are also a considerable number of civilian teams and spontaneously formed artist teams. Whether they are selected or not, they all want to contribute to the centennial Olympics.

After 2 p. m., Zhang Zhang Yimou walked into the Qinglan Building with his assistant. Minister Wang of the Cultural Activities Department of the Organizing Committee happened to be on the phone at the stairs.

"No, there is really no news for the time being, yes, yes, I will continue to pay attention."

He turned his head and saw the old man, and then showed a smile uglier than crying: "Oh! Zhang Yimou, you are finally here. Today is not a day for people to live."

"I'm counting with my fingers here, Li An, Zhang Zhang Yimou, Central Song and Dance Troupe..."

The old man grinned and showed two very obvious decree lines, clearly he had been working overtime recently: "Is it because of the leak of the Inquiry Realm plan?"

"Harm! Who said it wasn't! Chairman Liu was so angry that he smashed the cup in the office!"

Zhang Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly, knowing Wang Lin's meaning.

If it is a mediocre plan, to be impolite, it is leaked.

It is a pity that the whole plan is a masterpiece from cultural heritage to international vision, from core logic to landing feasibility.

This is a pity!

"Hey!"

The old man sighed: "I called Little Lu when I saw the news. How could this happen? It's really a pity."

To be fair, with the level of his top bidding team, he dare not say he would win against this plan.

The power of the forward-looking perspective is huge, especially in projects that extremely need the creator and the director's own examination ability.

Relatively speaking, creative level is to give way to aesthetic examination level.

Because in a team composed of top artists, what everyone is worried about is not that there are no programs, but that there are too many programs!

Don't know how to choose, how to connect is the most appropriate.

The old man recalled Lu Kuan's heavy tone on the phone, wanting to find Leader Liu to plead first.

It's a bit too much to say opening a back door. See if you can leave a gap and allow them to give a rough plan first.

Minister Wang led him to the fourth floor: "The leader is not here now."

"Ah? Why is he not here on this day? Didn't you just say he smashed the cup in the office?"

Wang Lin wondered: "I'm also strange. At noon, his secretary sent an envelope to the office. He left in a hurry without two minutes."

He looked at his watch: "Two hours, still haven't come back, maybe there are some emergencies."

The two looked at each other, and their hearts were cold.

It's really an eventful autumn.

At 2:30, Ma Wen, Tan Dun, and other New York artists arrived to submit the bidding document.

At 3 o'clock, the Liberation Army team arrived to submit the bidding document.

At 3:30, the extremely luxurious Gehua team arrived to submit the bidding document.

Gehua is a key collection unit for this Olympic Games. The main personnel include rock godfather Cui Cui Jian, People's Art director Lin Lin Zhaohua, and famous director Li An.

Among them, Atlanta Olympic director Michelle and Chinese designer Lin Ying were team members in later generations, but they were dug up by Boss Lu in this life.

The time ended at 4 o'clock. The remaining National Song and Dance Troupe, the joint team of CCTV and Beiao Company, the French ECA2 team, and the Chen Kaige team all arrived one after another.

In the conference room on the fourth floor, the artists and big guys drank tea and chatted, looking relaxed.

Cai Guoqiang smiled: "I thought our plan was already perfect, but seeing the one spread on the internet, I still underestimated the heroes of the world!"

"Yes, it's a pity, it's a pity."

The old man murmured, and the call to Lu Kuan just now was not answered. I don't know what it is like now.

Chen Chen Weiya of the Liberation Army team nodded: "The most outstanding place of the Inquiry Realm plan is that it integrates traditional culture and modern technology to the extreme."

"To be honest, many of our teams lack that kind of international vision, and don't understand many cutting-edge technologies in the world at all, let alone apply them."

Big beard Zhang Zhang Jigang patted him on the shoulder: "This director Lu Kuan is still too young. The Olympic Games is a system project and cannot be sloppy."

"Yes! This is reasonable!"

Feng Feng Xiaogang smiled: "Yes, young people are still not careful enough."

The scene now is a bit like boiling wine to discuss heroes, but what they regret is that plan that has already gone, as well as the evaluation of Boss Lu being too young.

Wang Lin walked out of the office and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 4:30, and there was half an hour left.

In the list of directional collection units, the only one that has not arrived so far is Lu Kuan's team in the Inquiry Realm.

Little Cannon walked away with his mobile phone and dialed it to Zhou Jun, who was sitting in the coffee shop at the bottom of the building.

Criminals usually like to return to the crime scene.

That's right, it hasn't arrived by 4:30. Zhou Jun feels that he has succeeded more than half.

To Yano Coffee at the bottom of the Qinglan Building, looking at the people coming and going through the glass window, maybe he can see Lu Kuan's hurried figure, running here to seek accommodation and let go.

This will greatly satisfy his emotional needs and bring a strong sense of achievement and stimulation.

"Okay, I know, it's estimated that he can't come, it's a pity."

Zhou Jun certainly cannot tell Feng Feng Xiaogang that this is what he did. Today is just a cover for accompanying him to submit the bid.

There is half an hour left until the bidding document is delivered. Where is Boss Lu at this time?

He is in Leader Liu's car.

The driver is on duty in front of the car. Now it is a private communication between the parties and the authorities.

Early this morning, the news of the leak of the Inquiry Realm plan reached Leader Liu's ears. After he saw the whole plan circulating on the internet, he really sighed.

It's a pity.

It's just that at lunch, a recording file sent in with the work meal completely raised the severity of the matter to a new level.

This matter, saying it is a leak incident of a commercial company, may look like nothing.

But after confirming Zhou Jun's identity in the recording, the parties involved in the incident were somewhat sensitive.

Zhou Jun and his background are not mentioned for the time being, what about Lu Kuan?

On the surface, he is a director of the international film festival, the dean of the Pan-Asian Film Academy whose influence spans China, Japan, and South Korea, and has a certain say in the international art world.

Apart from the industry at home, he also has output tools like Mytube in the United States.

Although it is somewhat inappropriate to say, people who control public opinion and the right to speak in the art world have the qualification of "holding foreign countries to respect themselves" to some extent.

Just like Spielberg, who withdrew from the creative group before the 2008 Olympics because of a certain problem, made everyone unable to get off the stage.

These are all the right to speak and capital that Boss Lu has been committed to accumulating for himself since he went down the mountain to deal with some "force majeure factors."

At a time when the Olympic cause is in full swing and in a good situation, it is very important pre-work to appease Lu Kuan, a big speaker who may have hidden dangers.

There is too much involvement behind the scenes. He cannot be arbitrary. Only after asking for instructions and reporting, there is this separate communication in the scene.

"Comrade Lu Kuan, I don't represent anyone now, just an ordinary Organizing Committee worker, wanting to ask about your handling opinion."

Lu Kuan looked unbelievable: "Confirm it is him?"

"Temporarily confirmed, the authenticity remains to be further checked, don't think too much, I am not here to put pressure on you today."

Leader Liu smiled: "Right and wrong, there will definitely be a statement for you."

Boss Lu sighed: "Leader, to be honest, I really can't swallow this breath!"

"International friends and artists from all over the world gathered together just for our dream Olympics to be held smoothly. It has been four months since I signed the contract in May!"

"Tangshan, Cannes, Beiping, Rongcheng, how many days and nights have we stayed up!"

The Berlin Film Emperor started acting, but it was not too exaggerated. In front of such high-level leaders, it is too much.

"Leader, I also understand the difficulty of this work."

"Considering his identity, if this matter is exposed, it will also be a scandal internationally, affecting our current national image of unity."

Leader Liu looked at the young director in front of him. In addition to a hint of scrutiny, he also nodded with appreciation.

This is a person who understands the big picture.

It is not in vain that many high-level leaders mention this young man and give a thumbs up.

Boss Lu seemed to be somewhat speechless, wanting to say something and sighed again.

"Speak! There are only you and me in the car, say whatever you have."

The young director smiled bitterly: "Leader Liu, the Inquiry Realm can not pursue the things on the surface, but there must be a fair and just statement."

"Can't this matter pass without mentioning black and white?"

Leader Liu looked serious: "Don't worry! This matter won't work even if you say it's over!"

"Some people, relying on the shade of their fathers and mothers, have lived a good life for too long, and simply don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth!"

He looked regretful: "What a good plan! It was sent to the internet like this, it is too regrettable!"

"By the way, don't tell me you came empty-handed today? Zhang Yuan Heping said you rushed to make an alternative plan, has it been sent?"

Boss Lu looked at his mobile phone: "Hmm, it should have arrived."

"Leader, we only had time to make a framework for the alternative plan. We will gradually supplement the content after the bid statement. Look..."

"Good! Good! Good!"

"These are all small things, as long as you can take out good things."

Leader Liu patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "I noticed you since you proposed cultural output at the research meeting. That sentence is well said!"

"National culture going out, whether to listen to the sound of the money bag or the sound of the book bag, this is the route problem that must be considered first."

"'Alien', 'Tangshan Earthquake', including the videos of Hanfu and tea culture you filmed, all have our excellent national culture and national spirit."

"Comrade Lu Kuan, many leaders are optimistic about you and praise you. Starting from this Olympic opening and closing ceremony, I hope you can take on heavier burdens!"

Lu Kuan's face was unprecedentedly serious: "Yes! Duty-bound!"

Things have come to this, basically in line with his development expectations.

Handling the leak privately is the most appropriate. One is that there will be no more digging on the surface, and the other is that there will be no deadly feud with the Zhou family.

I have let your son go. If you are looking for trouble, don't say others, the handling and coordinating Leader Liu will be the first to disagree.

As for Zhou Jun, who has no teeth, it is not worth mentioning.

The Inquiry Realm team's bidding document delivery was on another car, escorted by Chen Chen Zhixi on the way.

Around 4:50, Boss Lu arrived at the Qinglan Building in Leader Liu's car, shook hands with the leader to say goodbye, and lifted his feet to the building.

"Eh? Boss Lu?"

Zhou Jun waited for him here for a long time, almost thinking he wouldn't come.

Looking at Lu Kuan's serious expression, and the staff who didn't carry the bidding document, he couldn't control his joy.

Boss Lu looked up at him indifferently. With his yellow jacket gone, Zhou Jun was about the same as an ordinary person to him.

"Zhou Zong, hello, long time no see."

It has indeed been a long time, but the back and forth of swords and shadows has not been less, and they are all the kind that stabs into the heart.

Although Zhou Jun came to show off his power as a winner, he had not yet achieved his full success, and he was still restrained on the surface.

He said with regret: "Hearing the bad news, Director Lu, don't take it to heart."

The young director looked at him expressionlessly for a few seconds.

"Zhou Zong, good means."

Boss Lu suddenly felt that he had entered the sage mode, and the Zhou Jun in front of him was about the same as a living dead.

He had no interest in talking more with the living dead, and even the interest in pretending to express his angry position was lacking. He lifted his steps and walked to the Qinglan Building.

Zhou Jun looked at his departing back with a little vigilance, but only thought he was helpless in yielding to reality.

Just...

Why is the sense of refreshment after this great victory so lacking?

Shouldn't it be Lu Kuan jumping over the wall in a hurry, coming up to give himself a punch, and then being heroically subdued by himself, scolding him for losing the battle and losing the person?

"Zhou Jun? Why are you here?"

To avoid suspicion, Leader Liu didn't get off the car with Lu Kuan just now.

After all, the bid submission and bidding are imminent, and he cannot have any position expressed.

But watching Zhou Jun wagging his tail and coming out to fall into the well in the car, he still felt disgusted.

Really an unprogressive thing.

"Oh! Uncle Liu, long time no see. I went abroad for the New Year this year and didn't go to your house to pay a New Year's greeting!"

Leader Liu smiled and nodded, his voice steady and powerful: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to my house, hurry back to your own house, Zhou Jun."

He looked up at the national flag hunting on the top of the Qinglan Building and sighed.

"It's going to be windy."

Zhou Jun looked at him leaving respectfully, looked up at the blue and white sky in the afternoon of Beiping.

Windy?

Where does this come from?

Busy at the end of the year, add 3000 first, still owe 7000
