He was obsessed with the news of<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTwilight Killing Machine\u201d on the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet. The more he read, the angrier he became. However, he couldn&#8217;t stop. He hasn&#8217;t had this kind of mentality for many years. As a new movie emperor, who has always been favored by others, he has never been scolded so badly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the release of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTwilight Killing Machine\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Fu Cheng has never had a good night&#8217;s sleep.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His eyes were full of red blood, and his lips were covered with dark stubble. The whole person looked very haggard, without any hint of his former brilliance in front of the public.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fu Cheng pinched the mouse tightly and pulled down the comment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as if he were abusing himself.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Fu Cheng&#8217;s <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTwilight Killing Machine\u201d<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we can only say that no matter how big our expectations were, only our disappointment is bigger\u2026.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Was Fu Cheng tricked? I can&#8217;t believe he would take such a movie??<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">]\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I heard that Fu Cheng also participated in the investment. Tut-tut, after so many years of acting, his vision is rubbish.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not mentioning vision, Fu Cheng&#8217;s acting skills were also rubbish. Sleepwalking all the way, he was like <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a different person.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">]<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case of Fu Cheng, which director would dare to invite him in the future??<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">]\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fu Cheng clenched his teeth, moving his mouse to one side. Then he stood up and walked anxiously around the room.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly, his cell phone rang. Fu Cheng looked intently and found that it was his own agent, so he quickly connected it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His agent&#8217;s tone was a little hesitant. Fu Cheng had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s the matter? Just say it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The agent sighed: &#8220;The drama we were talking about with director Xun fell apart&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fu Cheng took a breath, then pretended not to care, and then replied, &#8220;If it is gone, it&#8217;s gone. I wasn&#8217;t very optimistic about this drama anyway.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The agent hesitated for a moment, then said: &#8220;Except for Director Xun, the several endorsements we talked about are also not so enthusiastic, I&#8217;m afraid&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fu Cheng gnashing his teeth and said: &#8220;You can tell me all other bad news.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The agent could only continue: &#8220;Before, the industry was not very optimistic about<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8216;Twilight Killing Machine&#8217; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so in order to increase the arrangement of the movie, the two young people from our side found the managers of those big cinemas and stuffed the money to get such advantageous layout, but who could have thought that it would directly be heard by the newly appointed president of the Film Association&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Now the film bureau is strictly investigating the layout of movie arrangement. Let alone the lack of some movie arrangement, even Sheng Jiang himself couldn&#8217;t stop it. Ah, I just received the news, I&#8217;m afraid that Sheng Zhen has been removed from the board of directors\u2026.. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fu Cheng&#8217;s legs softened as he fell on the sofa directly. His face had a crying and laughing expression at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His backer was Sheng Zhen, but now Sheng Zhen has fallen down. He offended Guo Wenyuan before, and just encountered the Waterloo of his career, and invested more than half of his fortune in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTwilight Killing Machine\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in the future\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fu Cheng suddenly thought of what Taoist had said before.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s always necessary to pay back what was received. If some gratitude is not repaid, it may cause some effect for the rest of your life.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His face suddenly became ugly. Even if he kept telling himself in his heart that it was all a lie, there was already a look of regret on his face.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The board of directors of Guanrui Group.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chairman Sheng calmly looked at distracted Sheng Zhen: &#8220;Bastard! I told you before that you should be careful in this period of time. You dare commit crimes against the wind. How dare you?!!&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Zhen hurriedly raised his head and said in a panic: \u201cDad\u2026. no, I&#8230; I didn&#8217;t, I&#8230; I was framed!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His eyes looked at Sheng Qi, who was sitting on the sidelines, as if he had nothing to do with himself. The hatred immediately went to his head and he said in a sharp voice, &#8220;It&#8217;s him! Sheng Qi set me up!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Qi raised his eyebrows and ignored him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chairman Sheng was even angrier, and a crutch hit him on the back: &#8220;Forget it, even if you do something wrong! You still want to slander your brother!!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Zhen was in pain, but when he saw the excited appearance of chairman Sheng, he did not dare to stimulate him anymore. He could only explain in vain: &#8220;I\u2026\u2026 I just wanted to share your worries dad! I know you&#8217;ve been worried about the Tancheng Movie City project and I wanted to use <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTwilight Killing Machine\u201d to help this project.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I didn&#8217;t expect that&#8230; &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Jiang was not as moved as he imagined, but coldly said, &#8220;Don&#8217;t work on diamonds without knowing how to work on porcelain. Failure is failure. No matter what reason you find, it&#8217;s useless.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Zhen looked at Shen Jiang in disbelief. He could hardly believe that these were the words of his father, who had always doted on him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Sheng Qi was not surprised at all. He knew more about his father than his younger brother.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Shen Jiang finished, he seemed to be a little tired. Sitting on the chair, he said faintly: &#8220;In the future, you don\u2019t need to come to the company. Go abroad to study for a few years, and then live with the company shares with ease.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Zhen was struck by lightning, he still wanted to argue with a few more words. However, the directors present had already begun to praise Shen Jiang for his clear distinction between public and private affairs and even dismissing his own relatives.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Zhen stared at everything in front of him, but he didn&#8217;t move until his father&#8217;s secretary persuaded him to leave the conference room.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He couldn\u2019t imagine that he would be struck out before he could have a formal confrontation with Sheng Qi.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the conference room at this time, Sheng Qi finally got up from the chair and walked slowly to Shen Jiang&#8217;s side: &#8220;Dad, let&#8217;s continue the meeting.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jiang looked at his eldest son with mixed emotions in his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Qi <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">however, seemed to be unaware of it and kept the posture of bowing respectfully.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, he never paid attention to Sheng Zhen. In his opinion, Sheng Zhen was just a puppet manipulated by the old and frail lion king, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">seemingly fierce, but in fact, he was just a hyena with very little ability.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the beginning to the end, it was just a war of power between the old lion king, who was in power, and the new lion king, who was young and ambitious.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Jiang looked at his eldest son for a long time before he sighed softly: &#8220;Qi, you are steady. The future of the company will depend on you.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Qi didn&#8217;t seem to hear the reluctance in his words and said with a smile: &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry, Dad.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Shen Huai received Guo Wenyuan&#8217;s call, he was also stunned. He didn&#8217;t expect that the opportunity to cooperate with Sheng Qi would come so fast.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hey made an appointment in Sheng Qi&#8217;s office.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai&#8217;s attitude was indifferent. He was very clear that for Guanrui, at this moment, the most important thing was to eliminate the negative impact caused by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTwilight Killing Machine\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and at the same time, it was also necessary to solve the financial burden of Tancheng Film and Television City.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of urgency, Sheng Qi was more urgent than him. He just needed to see what medicine was sold in Sheng Qi&#8217;s jar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he did not expect that after a few pleasantries, Sheng Qi would go straight into it: &#8220;I said before that I hope to cooperate with Mr. Shen, which was not just an excuse. I hope to develop Tancheng Film and Television City city together with Mr. Shen.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Qi said, and directly put a planning proposal in front of Shen Huai.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai looked over it, the more he read, the more surprised he became. Because this planning project almost handed over most of the initiative in development to Yihang, while Guangrui retreated to the second line and became a profit-eater.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai almost wondered if Mr. Guo had been tricked by Sheng Qi.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Qi seemed to see Shen Huai doubts and said with a smile, &#8220;Mr. Shen, don&#8217;t doubt it. I&#8217;m not teasing you. I&#8217;m very sincere about this plan.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai closed the plan and compared: &#8220;Mr. Sheng, please speak. I&#8217;m all ears.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheng Qi said with a smile: &#8220;I know that Mr. Shen has always wanted to do the whole film industry chain and promote the industrialization of Chinese movies, which coincides with my idea. Although I&#8217;m a businessman, I&#8217;m also a businessman who grew up watching domestic movies.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I have seen what Mr. Shen has done all the way. I saw it with my own eyes, whether it&#8217;s your contribution to Chinese movies or your amazing vision, I admire it very much. It&#8217;s just like when you were in the investment world. I&#8217;m sure you won&#8217;t let me down on this project.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shen Huai: &#8220;&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If he talks about ghosts at this time, Shen Qi may explode.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under this kind of misunderstanding, the two happily reached a preliminary cooperation intention.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just after the two sides announced the cooperation plan to the outside world, news came from the Film association.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just now, Jin Ying<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> announced movies shortlisted for the award.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both &#8220;Red Actress&#8221; and &#8220;Sheng&#8221; were shortlisted for the best movie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Edited by: LuLu<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofread by: Rubhyl<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the National Day was passing, the box office of &#8220;Sheng&#8221; was also on the rise, leaving all his opponents behind.
