I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

R. Ben.

Late spring.

After Liu Wanqing hung up the phone, she silently looked at the bustling street outside the window.

People come and go on the streets, and everyone is working hard for their own lives.

She lowered her head again and looked at what she was about to draw...

Many unsightly things made her breathless, and her mental pressure was even greater.

This is the place she had always dreamed of coming to, and at the same time, she is now engaged in the career she dreamed of.

but……

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is terribly cruel.

When she was young when she heard that a comic company was hiring, she immediately went there.

At first everything was fine, but later, the company felt that the orthodox comics began to make no money, but after some comics with strange sentiments became popular, the company immediately turned a strategy and ordered her to draw those comics.

then……

Everything started to be different.

She resisted the company and wanted to resign, but when the company offered a five-year contract, she was stunned.

Then she fell into this country and became a tool that could only draw some messy cartoons in accordance with the company's requirements.

She fell into endless fear every day, dreaming of messy things every day.

this moment……

She wanted to escape from this company called Jiaochuan, and even wanted to escape from this place that killed her hopes and dreams.

but……

Where did she get the five million liquidated damages?

Five million is not much for others, but for her...

It is tantamount to sky-high prices.

When she was most desperate, she suddenly remembered a number from China.

A call from Lu Yuan who didn't know if it was true.

She tried to dial the number and explained the reason for the call.

"You wait..."

"it is good."

This is the last reply from that person.

Then the person over there hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Wanqing fell into an anxious wait, waiting like a straw.

As time passed, Liu Wanqing felt a little depressed in her heart. When she looked back at the messy drawings again, she closed her eyes.

five million……

How much is five million?

This is not a small amount at all!

So, what can she do?

About an hour later, her cell phone suddenly rang.

She quickly answered the phone.

"I have asked someone to contact your Jiaochuan company to help you pay the liquidated damages. Congratulations, you are a free person from now on."

"Huh?" Liu Wanqing was so excited that she couldn't breathe when she heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

"You can go back to the company to confirm..."

"Thanks...Thank you... President Lu, I...I...I will make money back to you..."

"I'll talk about money later, I ask what you plan to do next?"

"Next, I... want to go back to China to draw comics like hot-blooded boys."

"Do you have ideas and ideas?"

"Huh? A little bit, but not a lot..."

"Well, you don't have to go back to China, after you go to that comic company to hand over things, you can come to Los Angeles, USA."

"what?"

"I have a few not-so-sophisticated manga ideas. I need to discuss them face-to-face with you. It is not very convenient on the phone..."

"How many cartoon ideas?"

"Yup."

When Liu Wanqing hung up again, she suddenly found herself in a trance.

She quickly put on her clothes and walked towards Jiaochuan Company.

When she came to Jiaochuan Company, she found that everyone in the company looked at her strangely...

She walked to the leader, and the leader Kawashima, who had been looking at people with his nostrils, took a look at her at this moment, and then showed a polite smile, but his eyes were a bit complicated.

"Congratulations, this is your contract. Now, you have no employment relationship with the company."

"Thank you!"

"Bon Voyage."

"Thank you."

When Liu Wanqing left the office with her own termination contract, Kawashima suddenly stopped her.

"Miss Liu Wanqing..."

"what happened?"

"When did you meet Mr. Lu Yuan?"

"I... at a signing event."

"The signing event?"

"Yes."

"Oh." Kawashima still looked at Liu Wanqing with complicated eyes, then nodded and said nothing.

After Liu Wanqing left, Kawashima silently opened the drawer and pulled out a photo of Lu Yuan singing.

The photo has Lu Yuan's crooked art signature.

She closed her eyes, clicked on the player in the computer, and played the piano song "The Wedding in a Dream"...

After all, she still didn't tell Liu Wanqing that word in her heart.

After Liu Wanqing walked out of the company, several colleagues gathered around...

"Miss Liu Wanqing, I heard that Lu Yuansang personally called to pay you a astronomical penalty of 5 million yuan?"

"Are you and Lu Yuansang friends?"

"I like Lu Yuansang's piano music very much. Can you ask for an autograph for me in the future?"

"I want too, I also like Lu Yuansang very much. He is among the many Chinese stars, I think the best and the most legendary..."

"..."

Liu Wanqing looked at her babbled colleague and didn’t know what to say for a while...

The upper-level leadership of this company made Liu Wanqing very upset, but the colleagues were very nice and friendly.

She can only respond with a smile, and if given the opportunity, she will ask Lu Yuan for an autographed photo...

night.

The colleagues held a farewell party for Liu Wanqing which was not grand but very warm.

After the welcome party, Liu Wanqing saw the four girls silently approaching her, her eyes looked a little timid, but she had courage again.

"That... Miss Qing Wan, we... We also want to go to Los Angeles... Our contract with the company has expired, and we don't want to stay in R book..."

"What? I... this... Mr. Lu Yuan only invited me... this..."

"Even if you want to draw comics, you need an assistant, I am willing to be your assistant..."

"me too……"

"I also hope to help you..."

"..."

Liu Wanqing looked at the gazes of the girls and felt very complicated.

There are hope and expectation in the eyes of these girls.

They all look forward to the future.

It's like me.

"Then... I'll call Mr. Lu Yuan..."

"it is good."

………………………………

In the evening.

The sun is setting.

Lu Yuan returned to the company after filming the first act of "The Pianist on the Sea" and saw five girls sitting in the company's meeting room curiously looking at everything in the meeting room.

Lu Yuan felt strange.

There is a strange feeling of buying one get four free of big fruits at a loss.

And there are still four R book girls.

"what……"

"Mr. Lu Yuan..."

"Lu Yuansang..."

"Hello there……"

"Mr. Lu..."

When the girls saw Lu Yuan, they all stood up excitedly and greeted Lu Yuan with flushed faces.

Lu Yuan smiled.

but……

His smile was a little awkward.

He could not understand the voices of other people except Liu Wanqing's voice.

Some words in R can only understand some inexplicable words from small movies in some island countries, such as good morning, such as I went, such as don’t don’t...

cough.

Anyway...

These words are really profound, to the point that Lu Yuan can't describe it in words.

"Mr. Lu... They are all members of the "Ergouzi Island Country Fan Support Club". They are your fans..."

"what?"

After hearing about the fan club of the island country, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of the island country action film organization fans...

He was a little surprised, his eyes changed a little for no reason.

I don't know why, for a simple person like Lu Yuan, suddenly after hearing the word island country, some pictures that shouldn't have appeared in his mind somehow.

These pictures made Lu Yuan feel a little offensive for a while, yet...

Slightly exciting?

Lu Yuan criticized himself for a long time, and finally returned to normal.

I am a decent person, and I am a promising young man who grew up under the New Social Red Banner, and I definitely can't rectify some messy and inharmonious things.

"Mr. Lu, although you have never been to R Ben, but there are also your fan groups in R Ben..." Liu Wanqing quickly explained to Lu Yuan after seeing that Lu Yuan's eyes were strange. The situation on the side.

"Oh, that's the case, everyone sit down first... don't have to stand..." Lu Yuan nodded at the girls and motioned everyone to sit down.

A few girls, look at me, I look at you, and then I learned what Lu Yuan meant under Liu Wanqing’s translation, so they nodded excitedly and sat, although they were sitting, they all looked at Lu Yuan with fiery eyes , The expression is still very excited.

"Mr. Lu, they are all a group of people with dreams... Just now on the plane, we talked about a lot of things, we all hope to work in your company..."

"my company……"

"Yes, don't you plan to set up a comics company?" Liu Wanqing looked at Lu Yuan.

"Huh?" Lu Yuan was taken aback.

"Isn't it? You set up an entertainment company, and there are other companies at the same time, I thought about it, you should also have the idea of ​​setting up a comics company? I... I thought about it, besides drawing comics to help you make money, I don't know anything else..." Liu Wanqing looked at Lu Yuan nervously.

"This……"

Set up a comic company?

He really hadn't considered this.

In fact, the reason why he promised to help Liu Wanqing was that he liked Liu Wanqing's comics very much. He simply liked the comics.

But set up a comic company...

It seems, is it not impossible to consider?

"Mr. Lu, you... Am I wrong?" After Liu Wanqing remembered the few words her aunt had said to her, she suddenly began to doubt herself.

Did the aunty guess wrong too?

"Do you have any ideas about the comic company?" Lu Yuan looked at Liu Wanqing in silence for a while.

The expression gradually became serious.

"R-books...R-books comic companies are much larger and smaller, and you can open them without spending much money... I don’t have any channels on the R-books, but they are native R, and they have certain magazines. Channel..." Liu Wanqing took a deep breath and said this as if to squeeze all the courage in her body. After she finished speaking, she bowed her head timidly.

"How much investment?"

"About... half a million yuan."

"Five hundred thousand..." Lu Yuan watched silently. Just as he was thinking of saying something, his cell phone rang again. "Sorry, I'll answer the call..."

When Lu Yuan took out his cell phone...

Fatty Wei's throat broke through the phone.

"I won, all I won! Ayuan... We were nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, and I was nominated for best director again. You won the best actor, best screenwriter, best director, and four consecutive best music Individual nomination awards, as well as Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Leading Actress, yes, and...Lao Lu also won the award and was nominated for Best Actor. Lao Lu went crazy after hearing the news... …Talking about some silly nonsense that can accompany you to run again this year..."

"Me? Was nominated again? So many winning projects this time?"

Lu Yuan dug his ears that were humming.

Suddenly...

Somewhat surprised.

This time...

feel……

There are so many nominations!
