Chapter 03: Chapter 3: Encountering a Crisis
The next day, major media outlets reported one after another about the meeting between Overwatch Films CEO Mr. Luo Ning and Tony Stark, 24 hours a day, adding fuel to the fire about the relationship between the two.
Why Iron Man is actually a member of Overwatch, what seems like a low-key Luo Ning is actually playing a big game, and what is the ultimate truth behind Overwatch Films...
Luo Ning really wanted to say something to these media and editors: "I'm convinced!"
Doesn't this push him into a pit of fire?
He just wants to stay at home in peace, and he doesn't want to get involved with any superheroes.
The reason why he agreed to make a movie with Stark was entirely out of fear that Iron Man would be unrelenting and bother him every day. He knew that Stark was a person who would never give up until he achieved his goal.
He is also afraid that those who are secretly eyeing Shouwang Pictures will threaten his personal safety.
Build a good relationship with Iron Man. From a pessimistic point of view, if he is in a desperate situation and has to ask Stark for help, Stark can stop talking nonsense and come to help him immediately, so that his purpose will be fulfilled. reached.
Very simple and very pure.
Putting aside these troubles, Luo Ning lay down in the game cabin and traveled in the mysterious ocean of games. Only here could he let go of everything and enjoy the happiness that was within reach.
A game trip was over and it was already evening. Luo Ning picked up his cell phone out of habit, and immediately panicked when he saw it.
An unknown number called him no less than a hundred times and sent him countless text messages.
Click on one to view: Dear Mr. Luo Ning, when you see this text message, your assistant Miss Burundt is already in my hands. Before ten o'clock in the evening, I can guarantee her life safety, but more than ten o'clock in the evening. Yes, it's not necessarily true. Maybe she won't die, but she may not want to live more than die. Let's meet at the Deep Sea Bar. Remember, you can only come alone.
He immediately dialed Lucy's number, but a man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Luo Ning, I knew you wouldn't leave the beautiful Miss Burundt alone, uh... did you hear that? That's her Struggling.”
Beep...beep...
The other party hung up the phone and Luo Ning looked at the time. It was eight o'clock in the evening, two hours before ten o'clock.
If you go alone, isn't it like committing suicide?
Luo Ning thought of Stark. If nothing else worked, he could ask Stark for help. He also had a vague guess about the person who captured Lucy.
Nothing but the rise of Overwatch Pictures, which has usurped the interests of other companies.
Now, the rabbit bites!
If you take a step back, the world may become brighter.
"Go to the Deep Bar."
Luo Ning sat in the passenger seat and told the driver Thomas, who was very confused. He knew his boss very well and never left home unless there was something urgent.
Passing through the suburbs, then to the bustling urban area, twenty minutes later, we arrived at the Deep Sea Bar.
Luo Ning got out of the car and told Thomas: "If I don't call you within an hour, just call this number and tell him that I helped him draft the first draft of the script. Now I'm at the Deep Sea Bar and ask him to do it as quickly as possible." If you arrive and don’t see anyone for three minutes, then the things you agreed on will be void.”
Seeing his confused look, Luo Ning asked again: "Do you remember?"
Thomas nodded.
"Tell me again."
When it comes to his wealth and life, Luo Ning doesn't dare to be careless.
Thomas seemed to have memorized the text and repeated it completely.
Luo Ning nodded and said somewhat depressedly: "Hurry up and drive away. You are allowed to go to the nightclub to have fun tonight."
Hearing this, Thomas was not happy. Instead, he felt a chill running down his spine, feeling that something was about to happen.
In the end, I left. Although the boss likes to stay at home, he is still very smart. Otherwise, it would be impossible to manage such a large company in an orderly manner, let alone create such an excellent movie script.
Luo Ning would not tell him that all the company's affairs, except for some matters that the CEO had to attend, would be handled by Ms. Berendt. That would give people the impression that it was too unreliable.
Looking at the deep sea bar, which was specially created to be a blue, like an ocean, Luo Ning could not feel any sense of beauty from it, only feeling uneasy.
What is supposed to come will always come, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon.
As soon as he entered, countless pairs of eyes stared at him. Logically speaking, shouldn't someone exclaim Mr. Luo Ning at this time? But no, there was no admiration in these eyes, only vigilance.
The only normal ones are the waiters, but there is no emotion or anger on their faces. They are like emotionless machines, walking around and serving the guests.
Luo Ning suddenly regretted coming here.
"Mr. Luo Ning!"
Looking around, a balding man in a suit and tie was sitting there.
No matter what happens, we can only bite the bullet and get through it at this moment.
"Mr. Luo Ning, it is such an honor to meet you here."
The voice was a bit familiar, but Luo Ning couldn't remember who it was because there were so many people he had chatted with on the phone.
Luo Ning sat down slowly and held the hand politely, "Where is Lucy?"
"Compared to this, I think what we are going to talk about next is more important. Mr. Luo Ning, do you need to think about who I am first? We communicated on the phone, even though it was only ten seconds."
"Sorry, there are too many people calling me." Luo Ning spread his hands.
"It seems that I am still too insignificant, so insignificant that Mr. Luo Ning doesn't even remember me."
"Now you have successfully made me remember you, sir." said Ronin.
"Okay, let me introduce myself. My name is Sparkle Charlie, CEO of Flying Films. With this status, I think I am qualified to drink with you." The bald man took a sip of red wine and showed enjoyment. .
"Tsk! The 1982 Lafite has a mellow taste. Mr. Luo Ning, don't you want to try it?"
The bar was filled with colorful drinks. Luo Ning shook his head, "Wine is not my thing. I like drinking tea, but it seems that there is no tea here, so let's talk about business."
"Actually, if you were willing to see me last time, or negotiate on the phone, Ms. Berendt would not disappear, so why bother Mr. Ronin?" Charlie said with a smile.
"If you are here just to chat with me, I think you don't have to do this." Luo Ning said impatiently.
"Haha... Mr. Luo Ning is still as cheerful as ever. Well, it's still the same thing I talked to you about last time, just with a slight change. Feixiang Film Company and Shouwang Pictures have reached a lifelong cooperation, and the film copyrights of the two companies Sharing, in addition, I will also become a member of the board of directors of Overwatch Pictures and enjoy 12% of the shares of Overwatch Pictures.”
Charlie took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, "You just need to sign these documents."
Luo Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Do you think this is possible? Even I only have 8% of the company's shares, but you want 12%?"
"It wasn't possible before, but now it's really not certain."
Charlie waved, and two heavily armed men escorted Lucy out.
"At first I just wanted to cooperate with you and share the film rights, but you rejected me time and time again. A dog will go to the wall when it gets angry, let alone a lion like me?"
Charlie put away his smile and held out three fingers, "I'll give you three minutes to think about it. If you agree, we are partners. If you don't agree, you two can't leave the bar alive."
The bar door was closed, all the waiters hid in the room, and the surrounding "guests" all took out guns from their waists.
Just when Luo Ning was about to compromise, an electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind: The global fans' belief in Soldier 76 has reached 80 million, and Soldier 76's transformation has been activated!
