I have a conflict with them, but not with Emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A gentleman seeks harmony but not uniformity; a petty man seeks uniformity but not harmony. I think there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Lu released the beautiful agent's soft, jade-like hand with some reluctance and walked out of the conference room with a flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently I come, just as I gently go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long guns and short cannons outside had just bombarded Zhang Jianting, Xie Tingfeng, Chen Guanxi, and the others, but had not obtained any explosive news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing one of the parties involved in the incident, the mysterious young mainland director, finally make a belated appearance, they quickly gathered their forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, everyone! Please stay calm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Lu looked in horror as microphone after microphone was poked toward him, nearly giving him a deep-throat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In both his past and present lives, this was the first time he had enjoyed such treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after becoming the head of a premier public relations firm in the entertainment industry, he had always operated in the shadows, hiding himself deep behind the flashbulbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lu, may I ask what the result of your negotiations is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lu, may I ask if the *Whiplash* crew has returned to normal order?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lu, may I ask if there is any truth to the rumors circulating in small circles that you are a miracle worker with heaven-defying powers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lu...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan cleared his throat: \"Hello, reporter friends.

The key issue is how to define certain problems as key issues. With such questions in mind, let us re-examine the key issues. I believe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bout of \"nonsense literature\" to brush off the long guns and short cannons, Lu Kuan finally escaped and returned to the home of Mei Yanfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Lu, this website of yours is really good, very novel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of her agent Wang Minhui, Mei Yanfang was familiarizing herself with the blog site, which had already undergone three rounds of internal testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, Boss Lu had rejected the many suggestions from Zhuang Xu and Wang Xing, opting for no prefix and naming it simply \"Blog Site.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for you big internet manufacturers who want to copy it, just add whatever you want in front; I am the founder, I am the daddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just like Moutai, which advertised itself directly on CCTV as \"National Liquor Moutai.\" The laypeople believed it, and it was only taken off the air after being reported and protested by all the other liquor factories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan explained the operating process to her in detail, including how to set up templates, follow friends, set background music, and interact with fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first battle for the blog's launch was originally intended to piggyback on the *Whiplash* incident to attract traffic, and then gradually get started with the small network Lu Kuan currently had in the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mei Yanfang had volunteered to stand up and endorse it. For over half a year, only a very few close friends knew about her illness, and she had turned down many jobs and announcements, which had already drawn the attention of her fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed time to announce the news to the public, especially since her condition had improved significantly; her mindset was more positive, and she was more eager to communicate with the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was pleasantly surprised to find that through this small blog, she could share multi-dimensional perspectives on her mood, work, and life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a star recuperating from an illness, it was also a good tool to maintain her popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Boss Lu went with the flow, preparing to make this explosive news the biggest hook to ignite the blog and attract traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a PR firm boss, event marketing was a professional skill—like the \"Milk Tea Sister,\" \"Alipay Lucky Cards,\" or the \"Ice Bucket Challenge\" of later generations, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Beijing, in an office on the third floor of the Zhongguancun Silicon Valley Computer City, Wang Xing was leading the technical team and field promotion staff in final preparations for the launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan had set three directions for traffic diversion: entertainment celebrities, cultural celebrities, and grassroots celebrities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan was responsible for entertainment celebrities, mainly focusing on Mei Yanfang's network, the already-hooked young superstar Zhou Jielun, and some mainland entertainment stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included the future \"Queen of Blogs,\" Xu Jinglei, whom he was preparing to win over; she was a topic-generating, traffic-heavy heroine of the blog era verified by practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For cultural celebrities, he would start with Han Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dropping out of school, he spent 140,000 to buy a Fukang, drove it from Shanghai to Beijing, and modified it—big rims, shark gills, a spoiler, removing the catalytic converter, and changing the exhaust to a straight pipe; in short, he did whatever was the most pretentious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xing found him on a road in the suburbs of Huairou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grassroots celebrities would be put on hold for now; he would look for promising talent. Once the house was built and the furniture was set, the distinguished guests would naturally come, like the \"Female Bodhisattva\" Muzi Mei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Kuan was on the second-floor terrace discussing the content of the first blog post with Mei Yanfang when Wang Minhui hung up the phone and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lu, Emperor called. They can agree to terminate the contract by paying three times the compensation, but there are conditions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What conditions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They ask that when Mr. Lu accepts interviews, the narrative must remain consistent with Emperor's—just say it was a disagreement in philosophy that led to the withdrawal from filming, and do not mention the compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's fine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Tingfeng's fee was 1 million, Chen Guanxi's was 600,000; Emperor, this wealthy benefactor with deep pockets, was helping him cover the entire cost of the film in one go...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was that Lu Kuan had calculated against the unprepared, fully utilizing the advantage of a prophet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, Xie and Chen were both in a state of chaos due to drug possession and car accident cases; if Boss Lu had let them be and used the contract to drag them down regardless of the consequences, these two might have truly become washed-up stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Lu only wanted money; nothing else was important, unlike some people who would rather suffer than lose face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you're the one who would rather suffer than lose face! You good-for-nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Liu had been immersed in officialdom for many years and considered himself to have some skill in cultivating his temperament, but he was still frequently unsettled by this unpromising son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a tiger father produce such a dog of a son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll warn you one last time: if you want to make movies, go mess around on your own, but do not interfere with Zhang Tianshuo's affairs again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father left after the lecture, leaving only Liu Zeyu, whose face was deathly pale as he lowered his head, almost grinding his molars to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been squeezed by the treacherous Zhang Jianting into paying half the compensation, and he secretly swore to make his new film, *Heart-Stirring*, a success and slap that Lu Kuan hard in the face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-20T06:05:17.358Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f331d8179c04f9bd1a257c9aab3445e8ef6e20848392fec69908b0ec6fa8daf1","the-playboy-of-huayu-how-did-a-celestial-immorta-chapter-70","the-playboy-of-huayu-how-did-a-celestial-immorta-chapter-68",343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-playboy-of-huayu-how-did-a-celestial-immorta-cover.jpg"]
