Chapter 93: One cannot become a great devil without going mad

  Yi Feiyang has always been a serious and cautious person. Therefore, in this cooperation with TOP Film Company, he still seriously and cautiously invited his private lawyer Louis-Karl.

  During this period, Louis Koo helped Yifeng a lot, especially after the "Movie Scare" incident, Louis Koo stood on Yifeng's side and resisted the guns from all sides for him.

  It turns out that those American unions, associations and countless folk organizations are not what they seem. They scared old John to death with the movie shot by Yi Feiyang, and several lawsuits directly brought this young Chinese director to court.

  At this time, Louis Koo stood out again, and unconditionally acted as Ye Fei Yang's defense lawyer. Although civil litigation was not Louis Koo's strong point, he still helped Ye Fei Yang wash away the mud that had been splashed on him and clear his name.

  Yi Feiyang has always been grateful for Louis Koo's help in this regard.

  In Yifeiyang's view, the test of a person's loyalty is not in how good he sounds when speaking, nor in whether he does things carefully and seriously, but in whether he stands on his own side when he himself is in trouble!

  It is clear that Louis C.K. was absolutely a loyal partner and a great private lawyer.

  For friends and loyal business partners, Yi Feiyang has always been generous, so on Thanksgiving Day, Yi Feiyang quietly gave him a big gift.

  It so happened that on Thanksgiving Day, Karl received an invitation from his classmates and went to a party at night.

  It's been a long time since we've had a gathering like this. The reason is not only that everyone is very busy, but also because we have all grown up and lost the simple friendship and camaraderie of our youth, replacing it with utilitarianism.

  Who says Americans live a carefree life?

  Who says Americans don't despise poverty and love wealth?

  As the most developed country in the West, the greatest motto here is "Money never sleeps!"

  That evening, Karl dressed up and sprayed some cologne on himself before heading out in high spirits to the French restaurant where everyone was gathering for dinner.

  It's been years since we last met, and of course, my former classmates and I exchanged pleasantries. Among them, the one who has developed the most is a guy named Brutus. This guy's characteristic is that he likes to fart, so during school days, everyone called him "Fart King".

  But now the "King of Fart" is really farting, not only serving as a high-ranking executive in one of the world's top 500 companies, but also driving a new car worth $100,000, which can be said to be extremely cool.

  But none of these caught Karl's attention, his eyes were all on Bruto's girlfriend.

  Yes, Karl knew her. She was Karl's first love, Linda. At the beginning, it was because she thought Karl was useless that she dumped him and threw herself into the arms of this "stinky fart" Bruto.

  For this, Karl worked hard and studied diligently, finally passing the bar exam a year ago to become a small-time lawyer in Hollywood's entertainment circle.

  But Karl has made achievements, but the achievement of the king of farting is obviously greater. It can be distinguished from each other's chariots.

  "Stinky Fart King" Bruto's $100,000 Mercedes is enough to make Linda proudly prove that dumping Carl was absolutely the right decision!

  Karl took a taxi, he originally had a car but sold it last year to focus on his law license.

  But in order to save some face for himself, he lied and said his car was broken.

  Yes. In America, how can a successful person not have a private car?

  His ex-girlfriend Linda saw through him at a glance and ridiculed him for lying. Carl wanted to slap this bitch at that time, and he still had some feelings for her, but she didn't give him any face.

  As for Wang Poo and others, they have already laughed so hard that they are holding their bellies, sarcastically mocking Karl "dying to save face". What a moron.

  At that moment, Karl really wanted to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

  The class reunion ended gloomily.

  Stinky Pete is hugging Linda, this canine couple continues to show off, revving up their brand new $100,000 car, asking Carl: "Want a ride?"

  What can Karl say? He could only smile wryly and decline the other's "kindness".

  But the story doesn't end here.

  Just as Karl was about to hit with a red face, a beautiful sports car slowly drove up beside him, opened the door, and Yi Feiyang very coolly tossed the car key to him, saying: "This is your gift, Karl, Happy Thanksgiving!"

  Louis couldn't believe it when Yi Fei Yang gave him such a beautiful car!

  Whatever, it's rare to show off once in a while, so under the stunned gaze of Wang, Linda and others, Carl started the engine and drove away.

  This son of a bitch Karl, who can't even learn anything good, has actually learned how to be pretentious! This is a 300,000 yuan BMW, and he's treating it like his own personal trash can!

  ……

  Afterwards, Louis Carroll asked Yifei Yang, "Why are you so good to me? I'm just a small lawyer."

  Yi Feiyang's response was, "I've never regarded you as a lawyer, but as a friend! It's only natural for friends to be good to each other!"

  This faint "should" moved Karl beyond measure.

  What does this mean?

  It shows that China is used to not considering itself an outsider!

  Yes, we are friends!

  Friends should help each other out, not stab each other in the back!

  At that moment, Lewis told himself that no matter what, he would never betray this friendship.

  Years of Friendship

  Long live friendship!

  ……

  Since receiving the gift from Yi Feiyang on Thanksgiving, Louis-Karl has become even more respectful of Yi Feiyang as a boss and has been working with even greater enthusiasm.

  Now, Yi Feiyang found him to sign a legally effective cooperation document with TOP company, and Karl was serious and responsible to the extreme.

  Even Henry the elephant's private lawyer couldn't help but look at this colleague with new eyes, it was too awesome, every word was carefully considered, never seen anyone so meticulous, even analyzing each clause so seriously!

  In short, with Louis-Karl's loyal and professional private lawyer helping out, Yi Feiyang is not afraid of being deceived by that elephant Henry.

  After signing the contract agreement with both parties, Yi Feiyang officially took office as a director.

  He is now faced with many things to do, first of which is writing a script.

  The script I wrote earlier was just a rough outline of the content and basic structure. To put it bluntly, it's just a movie outline that can fill your stomach. Now we need to enrich this outline, add flavor and sauce, increase character traits and role attributes, make this play have flesh and blood, and become plump.

  This kind of work is not heavy but it consumes a lot of brain cells. In comparison, Henry the elephant who has signed the cooperation agreement is getting bored to death.

  Watching his partner busy beyond recognition, he couldn't help but ask, "What am I doing now?"

  Yi Feiyang said casually, "Just leave this play to me, if you're really bored, go do some good deeds on the streets, accumulate some good karma... after all, Christmas is coming soon!"

  ……

  Yes, Christmas is coming soon.

  Hollywood's film market is also becoming lively.

  Actually, starting from Thanksgiving this year, the US film market has entered a "robbery" period - Christmas season. This is because at the end of the year, major film companies not only have their eyes on moviegoers' bulging wallets during the holidays but also have another eye on the "award season" starting from December 1st, from Oscars to Golden Globes, from Actors Guild Awards to Critics Association Awards. They can't afford to miss out on making money and winning awards, so moviegoers can see many high-quality films during this period, and of course, they will also find many familiar faces of superstars.

  With the successive debut of these superstars, major film companies have been vigorously promoting their new films, and a battle even more intense than Halloween has begun!

  But who would have thought that in private, the Chinese director who was once booed and scared to death by everyone, was actually helping TOP company shoot a very flavorful Christmas erotic film... "Saving Private Rachel"!

  In the words of Henry, the big boss of TOP, "I'm not some high-ranking official or artist or filmmaker; I'm just a lowly little movie boss. My only hope is to use my meager abilities to make everyone remember this film produced by TOP and have a happy Christmas! Oh right, don't forget our promotional slogan: This Christmas has some color!"

  Henry the Elephant can't wait for the whole world to know that his company is about to start filming a new movie, and it's very likely to rely on this erotic film. Joining the exceptionally chaotic Hollywood Christmas schedule, compared to Yi Feiyang, who is much more low-key as a person.

  It's not that Yi Feiyang is afraid of being ridiculed for filming this type of movie, it seems the more he mixes, the lower he goes... The great film artist Stanislavsky once said in his book "The Actor's Self-Cultivation" that an actor has no right to choose a role, but has the right to perform well!

  Similarly, a director has no right to choose a script, but has the right to shoot it well!

  Moreover, in the eyes of a truly excellent director, any type of film should be handled with ease.

  Don't casually belittle any film genre, because as long as audiences like watching it and praise it, then it's a good movie!

  Adult movies are no exception!

  I don't know how many people still remember Dino De Laurentiis, the "Pope" of erotic film.

  If it's said that the true intention of a director can only be truly felt after watching, then Bara is standing at a god-like height. Unlike Hong Kong directors who make erotic films mainly for commercial interests and entertainment purposes, he not only expresses his thoughts and views through eroticism but also conveys meaning through it.

  In fact, this "Emperor of Erotic" who has been worshipped by countless movie fans was a standard art-house film young man before shooting erotic films. In the first decade of his career, his films were full of avant-garde and bizarre plots and surrealistic super-realistic images.

  Unfortunately, the road to art is not easy to walk. The proud and arrogant Bala encountered obstacles everywhere until he suddenly realized what he wanted to shoot, so he plunged into the world of erotic films and became a master of the genre.

  Yi Feiyang is also trying now, trying different types of movies; especially in order to get those eight movie theater chains, he must boost his morale and make this play well.

  In his view, it's hard to be a god, so he'll just become a demon first!

  If you don't go crazy, you won't live!
