A new journey

Lu Yan didn’t say a word along the way, as if he was thinking about something.

After arriving home, Su Mo asked directly, “What’s wrong? Are you worried about something?”

Lu Yan smiled and said, “Brother Feng mentioned to me today that my contract with Starry Sky is about to expire.”

Su Mo nodded. He and Lu Yan had signed the contract, so he was very clear about it. “There’s still half a year left. What are your plans?”

Lu Yan was silent for a while, then smiled and said, “About that, let’s renew the contract. Apart from Starry Sky, where else can I find a company that can offer me such generous conditions?”

Su Mo seemed to disagree with his decision and asked, “Have you ever thought about opening your own studio?”

Lu Yan sighed, “Of course I have thought about it. But now is not the time.”

Su Mo looked at him and said seriously, “What if I become a shareholder and invest in you?”

Lu Yan looked back at him without saying anything.

Su Mo continued, “When opening a personal studio, the most important things are money and resources. Money is even secondary, resources are the most important. You don’t have to worry about resources. I will let Qin Feng go with you, and if I become a shareholder, I can legitimately provide you with resources, and Starry sky will also be your backing. As for money, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Lu Yan thought for a moment and said, “If you were the one who asked, I believe Brother Feng would be willing to go with me. In fact, I still have some money on hand, so I should be able to support a smaller scale.”

“No,” Su Mo interrupted, “If we are going to do it, we will do it the best. We will hire the best team, plan, promote… we will try our best to get the best. Only with reasonable investment can we get better returns. You don’t need to compromise yourself, you have me, you deserve the best. In addition, you will have 60% of the shares of the studio and I will have 40%…”

Lu Yan wanted to say something when he heard this, but Su Mo stopped him. “Listen to me first. You must be the majority shareholder and have the absolute right to speak. You cannot allow others to have the opportunity to question your authority. But you don’t need to worry about these trivial matters. I will find professionals to do it. Then you just need to nod, sign, and be the boss. That’s it.”

After Su Mo finished speaking, he smiled and said, “Okay, Mr. Lu, if you have any questions, you can ask them now.”

Lu Yan knew that Su Mo had thought of everything. He was so concerned about himself that he had no room to refuse. So he joked, “I only have one question now. Is it okay for Mr. Su to dig into his own corner like this?”

Su Mo smiled slightly, “Didn’t you say that I’m a shrewd businessman? The starry sky belongs to the Su family, but the Su family doesn’t just belong to me.” He lowered his body and approached Lu Yan, saying ambiguously, “But you belong to me alone.” He lowered his head and slowly untied Lu Yan’s tie. “You have the ability, and I have the resources and money. Why should I let others have a share?”

Lu Yan hugged him tightly around his waist, turned around and pressed him against the armrest of the sofa, raised the corner of his mouth, and stroked his cheek slowly with one hand. His eyes were hot and deep, and his voice was hoarse, “You are indeed a profiteer! But I like you very much!”

The next day, Lu Yan invited Qin Feng to his workshop.

“Brother Feng, I already have the answer to the question you asked me yesterday.”

Qin Feng nodded. “There is nothing to hesitate about. At present, renewing the contract is your best choice. I believe that Starry Sky will give you the most favorable conditions and the greatest freedom. I also hope that you can stay in Starry Sky so that we can continue to cooperate. I can help you get better conditions than the previous contract.”

Lu Yan smiled slightly. Qin Feng’s idea coincided with his previous one. If Su Mo was not there, this would indeed be his best choice. But the fact is that there is a big president behind him, so he smiled and said, “No, I don’t plan to renew the contract. I will set up my own independent studio.”

Qin Feng was obviously surprised. He frowned. In his opinion, Lu Yan was not such an irrational person who did not know his own limits. “Although you are already a little famous now, you have only been in the industry for three years. You are still a newcomer and your foundation is too shallow. You have to know that it is not enough to have money to set up a studio. The most important thing is resources and connections. This is exactly what you need to accumulate now. Do you want to reconsider it? If you continue to develop at your current pace for another three years, I will definitely support your decision. ” 

Lu Yan smiled faintly and said, “So, I want to ask Brother Feng, are you willing to help me?”

Qin Feng thought for a while, then shook his head, “Lu Yan, I admit that we have had a pleasant cooperation over the past two years. You are also the most promising artist I have ever worked with. I believe that in time, you will become a superstar. However, you should also know that although I am known as a gold medal agent in the circle, many times, others do not give me face, but value the power I represent. Therefore, after leaving Starry sky, I dare not guarantee how much ability I still have. I may not be able to help you. “

Lu Yan sighed slightly and said with a smile, “You see, I knew that if it were just me, Brother Feng would not agree.”

Qin Feng was stunned. It seemed that Lu Yan’s words were not directed at him. Could there be a third person in the room?

Sure enough, another voice was heard, and someone pushed the door open from the locker room. “What if I’m included?”

Qin Feng was very familiar with this voice, and even more familiar with this person. He was almost frightened, “Di, Director Su?”

Su Mo nodded slightly, “I will hold 40% of the shares of Lu Yan’s studio. If you agree, you will get half of the shares. And all my resources, as long as they are for the development of the studio and Lu Yan, you can use them at will.”

Qin Feng was so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth.

A half-full share of a celebrity’s personal studio may not seem like much, but with Su Mo, a business genius, as a shareholder, its weight was immediately incomparable. The most attractive thing was the last sentence, what did it mean to use Su Mo’s resources at will? Su Mo’s resources alone were equal to the entire Starry Sky, plus he also had the Su Group, which naturally included the Starry Sky. This meant that in the future, almost no one in the entire domestic entertainment industry would not give him face.

As an agent, what could be more exciting than this?

Qin Feng was almost eager to agree, but he still had some questions, “Director Su, why are you…”

He hadn’t finished asking his question because he had seen Su Mo walk up to Lu Yan and sit on the armrest of his chair, bending his waist slightly, while Lu Yan was looking up at him with a smile, their eyes locked with infinite tenderness.

Qin Feng was not a dull person. He was just stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. All the details that he couldn’t figure out before came together.

He remembered that Lu Yan said his lover was not a woman, but he did not specify who it was.

He recalled the car that picked up Lu Yan on the night he returned from Cannes. It looked so familiar because he had seen Su Mo driving it a long time ago.

He recalled Song Hui’s hesitant expression every time they teased Lu Yan’s lover.

He remembered that the reason he took on the newcomer Lu Yan in the first place was because of Su Mo’s words.

…

Ah, so that’s how it is!

Lu Yan and Su Mo looked at each other for a while, then turned to look at Qin Feng who was still a little dazed, and said with a smile, “Brother Feng, do you have any other questions?”

“You, you…” Qin Feng found himself speechless.

Lu Yan gently held Su Mo’s hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it lightly, then raised his head and said, “Let me introduce you again. This is my love, Su Mo.”

Su Mo looked down at him, his eyes tender and gentle.

Qin Feng swore that he had never seen Director Su with this kind of style.

Qin Feng suddenly asked, “Can I have a cigarette?”

Lu Yan seemed to understand his feelings and said sympathetically, “Please do as you please.”

Qin Feng’s hands were still shaking as he took the cigarette out of his pocket. He finally lit it and took two deep puffs before he gradually calmed down.

The stimulation today was quite great, even more shocking than the last time Lu Yan came out with him.

After finishing his cigarette, Qin Feng calmed down. His answer was straightforward, “I agree.”

Expected answer.

Lu Yan stood up, walked over and shook his hand, “I’m very happy to continue working with you, Brother Feng.”

Su Mo said, “Lu Yan’s contract with Starry sky will last for another six months. When that time comes, I will ask Su Jue to help you terminate the contract. You just need to sign a contract with the studio. The equity transfer letter will be given to you when you sign the contract.”

“Okay, thank you Director Su!”

Su Mo smiled slightly, “Don’t thank me, you still have a lot to do. You don’t have to worry about the specific procedures of setting up a studio, but you need to find the specific planning, publicity and other personnel. Money is not a problem, you must find the best and most suitable one.”

“I understand, Director Su, don’t worry, these are exactly my expertise.” Qin Feng said.

“I have always been very confident in you.” Su Mo said with a smile, “Also, don’t announce this news to the public for the time being. Wait until you finish filming this movie with Chen Li and then announce it during the promotion.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I thought.” Qin Feng nodded.

Lu Yan deliberately waved his hands, “It sounds like there is nothing for me to do.”

Su Mo turned around and smiled, “Your task is the most important. You are responsible for filming well, and it would be best if you could win a few more awards. You should also do a good job in making programs and commercials to increase your popularity. Don’t forget that you are the soul of the studio, and the entire studio will depend on you in the future.”

“Yes, sir. I will work hard to support my family and won’t let you down.” Lu Yan hugged him while smiling.

Looking at the two people in front of him who were unconsciously firing flash bombs, Qin Feng suddenly understood Song Hui’s feelings. Qin Feng seemed to have foreseen that he would be blinded by all kinds of flashes in the future.

However, having determined the future direction, Qin Feng was in a good mood and became even more motivated.

A new journey begins from this moment!
