This Emperor is Only An Actor

Chapter 45: Two phone calls

Views:

When he first traveled through time, Yue Guan was so arrogant that he felt that he only needed one chance to reach 90,000 miles.

Then he met Li Xun, who was greedy for his body.

Then, he was banned for three years.

In the past three years, Yue Guan was actually able to terminate the contract early, and the worst he could do was pay liquidated damages.

But Yue Guan gave up.

Li Xun made him realize one thing: the entertainment industry is a plaything of capital and power, and it cannot be done by relying on copycats alone.

When he looks like this, it is too easy for him to be targeted by people who are greedy for his body. If he is only greedy for his body, he can bear it, but many people want to marry him home and cannot bear it.

No matter how talented he is, it's useless. A weak man with no money and no power, if his background is directly attacked, he has to surrender obediently, otherwise he will be suppressed.

Even if he can get rid of Li Xun, Wang Xun and Zhou Xun... he can't always be passively beaten.

Who gave him such a face

In the entertainment industry, it is difficult to be a beautiful woman, and it is also difficult to be a beautiful man.

Therefore, he chose to stay low-key for three years and quietly accumulate capital.

Learning various professional skills is to go further.

The purpose of buying a house is to make money. If he has enough confidence to reject those who covet his body, he does not need to worry about his life.

As for writing books, it is for fame and autonomy. Jin Yong and Luo Lin are both typical success templates. Since Yue Guan has the conditions, of course he must follow suit.

Yue Guan did these three things very low-key. Li Xun only knew that Yue Guan was studying hard, but she knew nothing about buying a house or writing a book.

People always have to suffer losses in order to grow. Li Xun is a very good teacher for Yue Guan in his life, and Yue Guan will definitely repay her.

"Did you write "Twilight"?" Li Ruotong was shocked: "Are you the mysterious King?"

King, the author of "The Twilight Saga", is the most mysterious writer in the world. He has never appeared in front of others. When he wrote a novel for the first time, "The Twilight Saga" became the best-selling series of fantasy novels in the world. A magical masterpiece called the post-"Harry Potter era".

And King has naturally become the most watched author by book fans around the world.

But no matter how hard the book fans searched, they could not find this mysterious author.

Li Ruotong couldn't believe that Yue Guan was King: "You are King, why don't you make it public?"

"First whet other people's appetites, and wait until the world's expectations are met before revealing your identity. There is no rush."

It would be a good time to hype up the fact that he was banned.

The media will definitely dig out all the eighteen generations of Li Xun's ancestors, and then book fans all over the world will help Yue Guan greet Li Xun's family.

Good steel must be used on the blade. With such explosive news, Yue Guan must use it at the most appropriate time.

Yue Guan showed Li Ruotong the manuscript of "The Twilight Saga" and the unreleased extra chapter. Li Ruotong completely believed it, and then looked at Yue Guan with eyes full of admiration: "You are really amazing."

When Yue Guan heard this, he immediately thought of many unhealthy things.

It seems that girls who have had negative contact with me like to say this afterward.

"You're a billionaire just from the royalties from Twilight."

Yue Guan smiled slightly: "Poverty limits your imagination."

Li Ruotong: "..."

"But I didn't make a lot, much less than I expected. I don't know how much I was cheated by middlemen. Moreover, future film and television adaptations will be a one-time deal, and box office profits will definitely have nothing to do with me."

"How is that possible? You can fight for a share of the box office." Li Ruotong said in surprise: "Isn't that what Harry Potter does?"

Yue Guan glanced at Li Ruotong and sighed: "On the books, the Harry Potter movie lost money."

Li Ruotong: "..." You are just kidding me.

But the film company has made it clear that they are going rogue with you and making false accounts. What can you do? Go sue them

"It's too difficult to make money from capitalists. It's better to sell it at a high price and save yourself the trouble later. After all, I'm not from the Lighthouse country. If I fight in a foreign country, I will definitely suffer."

It is also because of this that he still holds the rights to film and television adaptations of the "Twilight" series.

The price was not enough to satisfy him.

After all, Yue Guan knows the box office of the "Twilight" series of movies. Although it was made into the Chinese version of "Tiny Times", it was really very profitable.

Without a high price, Yue Guan would feel sorry for himself.

When he first discovered that the world did not yet have the "Twilight" series of novels, Yue Guan knew that he was in luck and had to copy this one.

After all, Harry Potter already has...

It seems like billions have been lost.

"Sister Ruotong, do you believe that I am serious now?"

Li Ruotong believed it, but she still hesitated: "There is still a big gap between the writing style of "Twilight" and Taizu's writing style."

Yue Guan was amused: "What kind of writing style did Taizu have? Are "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "Tian Long Ba Bu" the same writing style?"

Li Ruotong was speechless.

"Don't worry, no one understands Taizu better than me."

Li Ruotong couldn't understand where Yue Guan's confidence came from, but she could feel Yue Guan's confidence coming from her face.

"Since you insist, I'll help you say hello to my sister when the time comes."

Yue Guan laughed: "Sister Ruotong, you have been so kind to me. I have nothing to repay, so I can only pledge myself to you."

Li Ruotong rolled his eyes at Yue Guan.

After walking out of Li Ruotong's office, Yue Guan was about to go back to write (copy) a book when he suddenly received a call.

Yue Guan looked at the caller ID and was a little surprised.

"Director Wang?"

"Yue Guan, I'm calling you to tell you some good news."

Yue Guan's eyes lit up: "Is it decided?"

"It's decided, CCTV's new year drama next year, haha."

"Congratulations, Director Wang."

"Same joy, Yue Guan, I hope you will soar into the sky."

Yue Guan didn't know whether Wang Jing was talking politely or seriously. Anyway, everyone was in the scene. Yue Guan and Wang Jing exchanged business blows and ended the call in a pleasant atmosphere.

There are still three months left before the Chinese New Year, and Yue Guan estimates that if things go well, he will be able to finish filming "Love Through Time and Space."

Maybe it will be able to be seamlessly connected by then.

Then next year he may be popular all year long.

Just when Yue Guan was in YY, he received another call.

This time the caller was even more surprised.

Although he deleted the phone number, Yue Guan still remembered who the number belonged to.

Why did she take the initiative to contact him

Yue Guan frowned and answered the phone, and then heard a gritted greeting: "Yue Guan, you are so poisonous."
