I have to teach the world a lesson

Zhang Sheng left.

Ke Zhanyi sat on the sofa blankly.

Having given up smoking, he picked up a cigarette and started smoking.

Jiang Xiaoyou did not snatch his cigarette away, crush it with his foot, and then scold him as usual.

She just stood up, opened the window in the hall, and let the night wind blow in, blowing away some of the unpleasant smell of smoke.

Ke Zhanyi lowered his head.

The night wind calmed him down a little, but he felt extremely cold, making him want to shiver.

He has actually met a lot of people in his life, but he has never seen anyone like Zhang Sheng. In a sense, even Zhang Sheng cannot be considered a human being.

You don't seem to have any secrets in front of him. His eyes seem to be able to see through your whole body with one glance. You want to hide it and try your best to hide it, but he can easily give away what you have tried so hard to hide. Dig it out completely and present it to you bloody.

[Director Ke, all the gifts given by fate have been marked with prices secretly! 】

[Don’t think about playing with capital. When you were in "Youth in Time", you were sucked by capital, but it made you famous to some extent. But this time, in this dangerous game of capital, you are completely the victim! 】

[In the book "The Age of Youth", you have bargaining chips in exchange with capital, but now, they have drained all your remaining chips. They will turn you into a bullet, and then use your remaining anger to shoot To their enemies! 】

[As for whether you will be destroyed in the end, or fall on the ground and be trampled on, it has nothing to do with them! 】

[If they call you tonight or tomorrow night and talk to you about these things, you must not agree! 】

【……】

Ke Zhanyi seemed to see a net.

A very hopeless web.

Smoke curled up.

Scenes from the past appeared in his mind...

Zhang Sheng's few words made him suddenly enlightened, and seemed to make him grow up overnight, but he felt more and more eerie and frightened.

Why?

He is obviously very talented!

Can't he make a good movie and unleash his talents?

He is not just a bullet to capital, he can at least create greater value for capital!

Isn’t this killing the goose that lays the egg?

He felt that what Zhang Sheng said was ridiculous, that Zhang Sheng was denying his talent, that Zhang Sheng was self-righteous...

For a moment, he even felt that everything Zhang Sheng said was wrong and all alarmist!

Thinking this way, he felt a little more comforted. He put out his cigarette butt and walked out of the balcony silently.

On the balcony, his girlfriend Jiang Xiaoyou was watering the flowers. He knew that when his girlfriend was indecisive, he would come to the balcony to water the flowers. This was her habit.

Under the moonlight...

He gave another forced smile.

"Xiaoyou, actually..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the phone ring.

The phone call inspired him, and he walked in subconsciously, even with some prayers and hopes in his heart.

But when he saw the phone number, his heart gradually sank. The call was from Sister Hong.

He answered the phone.

"Director Ke, [Zhang Dafu Jewelry] has reached a strategic agreement with us again. You can continue to shoot commercials for [Zhang Dafu Jewelry]..."

"Director Ke, I just had a chat with our legal department, and we found that your contract with [Starlight Future] is a bit troublesome. Some of their contracts are fixed, and there are many unreasonable overlord clauses in them... "

"The cost of terminating the contract is too high. It's not good. Fortunately, we discovered the loopholes in the contract in time and were able to remedy them..."

"Director Ke, let me tell you something. In fact, they invested 4 million of the 7 million investment in your first movie "Youth in Time". They used some shell companies to buy it at a low price. I bought the entire copyright of your book. Now go and check the contract for "Youth in Time". In the contract, it is a full copyright buyout contract! Even in the contract, they will include your subsequent pen names, including the works under your pen name. All signed in..."

"Hey, they are really a bunch of bloodthirsty beasts!"

"..."

Outside the phone.

Ke Zhanyi was stunned for a long time as if he had been hit hard.

Then, he quickly looked at Jiang Xiaoyou.

Jiang Xiaoyou dug out the early contract for "Youth in Time". When he turned to the signing page of the contract, she was stunned.

It seems that Ke Zhanyi was really signed into the contract, and the contract lasted for fifteen years!

When Jiang Xiaoyou showed him the contract, his heart skipped a beat.

this moment……

He realizes that everyone is draining him of his worth!

He sat down on the ground and felt a buzzing in his head that could not be relieved for a long time.

Jiang Xiaoyou's eyes were red, and she who was once very strong felt extremely aggrieved at this moment.

At the beginning, Ke Zhanyi's "Youth in Time" was not very popular, and it was difficult to even publish it. With no other way out, they ran into obstacles everywhere.

Later, when they finally found a publishing contract, they were so excited that they didn’t think much about it!

What else could they think about at that time?

If you can sign a book and give them a sum of money, why do they expect so much?

Then!

No one could have imagined that the novel "Young in the Age of Youth" would become a hit!

After the novel became popular, Ke Zhanyi also became famous, and then capital came to the door.

Ke Zhanyi himself is a director with a professional background and has directing experience. He fought hard for the work and even made huge concessions, and then only earned 200,000.

Two hundred thousand, they are quite happy. At least, their movie is a hit, their popularity is increasing, and they can take on more movies...

In this world, as long as you become famous, won’t money come rolling in?

However, at this moment, they realized how naive and ridiculous their original thoughts were.

This is all a game.

"There is also a problem with the director contract you signed before. In the director contract, 40% of the remuneration for the movie you direct will be given to [Starlight Future], who also signed it!"

"Look, this agreement has an overlord clause!"

"..."

On the phone, Sister Li Yanhonghong said these words in a very angry voice.

Ke Zhanyi lay on his back on the sofa as if all his strength had been drained.

His six gods have no master.

Panic began to spread throughout his body.

Cold, even colder.

He was stuck in the mud, unable to extricate himself, and even breathless.

Deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper.

"Now, there is only one way. We have learned that [Starlight Future] is playing a yin-yang contract, a left-hand to right-hand routine. We have contacted many people this time. I hope you can take the lead and expose this matter on the Internet. At the same time, we have also contacted the official media. Even if you expose it, our legal department will always stand behind you!"

The air was filled with a chilling smell.

respite……

Ke Zhanyi panted wildly.

He was silent.

As expected, Zhang Sheng guessed it right.

They want him to be a bullet and shoot hard at [Starlight Future]!

Then, he became a victim in this bloody battle and was coerced by capital...

He couldn't retreat. When he retreated, there was darkness. He didn't know how many terrible things were hidden in the darkness.

He couldn't move forward either. Moving forward was a cliff. If he took one step forward, he would fall and be shattered to pieces!

"Director Ke, are you okay?"

"Director Ke, I know it's hard for you to accept these things, but this is the only way to help you. When this matter gets bigger, [Starlight Future] will naturally choose to compromise or terminate the contract..."

"Then you'll be free!"

"We have prepared a new contract for you. The new contract is very loose and has no restrictions on you!"

"I just feel sorry for your talent. Really, talent shouldn't become a victim of capital!"

"..."

Li Yanhong's words are full of warmth and sunshine.

However, Ke Zhanyi felt that the sense of chill was becoming more and more solemn, and he even felt like retching.

Li Yanhong reluctantly responded, and after hanging up the phone, he retched instantly.

Then……

He heard Jiang Xiaoyou's cry.

But while crying, she comforted him.

"It's okay, it's okay, we have to encounter this to grow..."

"When heaven entrusts a great responsibility to this person, he must first work hard on his determination..."

"Throughout the ages, who among the talented people has not been covered in bruises?"

"Don't worry, I'm with you!"

"..."

Late at night.

Ke Zhanyi finished vomiting.

Jiang Xiaoyou no longer comforted him.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xiaoyou looked at him seriously: "Why don't you give Zhang Sheng a call? I always feel that if he can guess this, he should have a way..."

"He is just a student. He has no background. What can he do?"

Ke Zhanyi lowered his head, feeling that Zhang Sheng was really not a life-saver.

"Try it……"

The room fell into a long silence again.

Later, Ke Zhanyi finally took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Sheng.

The call was answered quickly.

"Director Ke, I know you will call me."

"Zhang Sheng, where are you?"

"I'm at the Internet cafe downstairs. Well, just wait for me for another half hour."

"???"

On the phone, there was the sound of the keyboard clicking.

Ke Zhanyi's mind went blank.
