After Lu Yong "settled" Tian Changqing, he continued to "plunge" into the scene of "Legend" and supervised the post-production of the film. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Then, after two months of "hard work", the project was finally completed.

Immediately, the master copy of the film was sent to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review, and within a month, it was told that the film could be released without deletion.

So, in mid-September, Lu Yong led the main creative staff of the crew to start a huge film promotion journey, and during this period, when Lu Yong learned that six of the ten films released at the same time in October were fantasy dramas, Lu Yong gasped, he thought that too many films of the same type were released at the same time, which was definitely not a good thing.

……

……

On October 1, Lu Yong's painstaking masterpiece "Legend" was officially released in major theaters across the country at the same time, and the other nine "blockbusters" also joined the "fight" at the box office as scheduled.

At first, the "Legend" scene was just released, and the box office income in the first three days was very gratifying, however, after watching the film, many fans spoke on the Internet and shouted for it, and left a message criticizing the show, they all said that the plot of this film is old-fashioned, and there is nothing new except for special effects, and it is more appropriate to change it to "Nonsense" than to call it "Legend".

And the effect of negative "rumors" on the Internet, like the northwest wind raging in winter, is both ruthless and swift.

As a result, under the influence of various negative news, the box office revenue of "Legend" fell sharply into a trough after only a week of brilliant results, and as soon as "Legend" "fell", several other films of the same genre took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation and carve up its box office share.

In this way, two full months later, "Legend" ended miserably with a box office income of 150 million in the mainland, plus 50 million in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and North America.

At this point, the complete failure of the "Legend" scene has greatly hit the shareholders of Mustang Film Investment and Tianxing Media Company, especially Lu Yong, who spared no expense, took out all his savings and borrowed 100 million yuan from the bank to make special effects for the film, but because of the huge loss in the filming of the film, he owed hundreds of millions of debts, and the liver fire rose and the old disease recurred and he was readmitted to the hospital.

But a few days later, Lu Yong, who was lying in the hospital, learned through Hou Baohua, a shareholder who came to visit, that Tian Changqing, the major shareholder of the company, fled out of the country last night with embezzled internal funds and illegal fund-raising! The investors who were deceived blocked in front of the front door on the first floor of the company in the name of debt collection, refusing to leave.

In this regard, after Lu Yong learned of this explosive news, his heart was completely desperate, and he regretted that he was too soft-hearted and did not attack Tian Changqing, who embezzled public funds and illegally raised funds, so that he suffered his own disaster.

Therefore, Lu Yong, who is now getting worse and worse liver cirrhosis, faintly feels that he has no future.

……

……

On December 11, in this cold winter, Lu Yong, who was lying in the hospital, was jointly sued by those deceived investors, and at the same time, the bank also began to actively collect debts.

At the same time, there was also a crisis within Lu Yong's family, that is, Guo Yao, who had always loved Lu Yong deeply, categorically filed for divorce, and the reason why she proposed to break up was that Lu Yong did not listen to her opinion, and the loss of family property was unforgivable, and she had to divorce.

And Lu Yong agreed without hesitation to Guo Yao's divorce, but Lu Yong seemed to be indifferent on the surface, but he was extremely sad in his heart.

However, what happened next made Lu Yong feel more heartache than Guo Yao's divorce.

At 11:15 a.m. on December 30, Lu Yong's royal lawyer, Hao Yandong, came to the ward, and he frowned and reported to Lu Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, and said, "Mr. Lu, all the shareholders of Mustang Shadow Investment asked me to tell you that they said that they have failed to make a profit due to their investment in your company in recent years, so they are ready to cash out their shares...... Quitting en masse! ”

"What!" Lu Yong, who lost his hair and was skinny due to chemotherapy, screamed in surprise.

Hao Yandong asked again: "How do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

After Lu Yong took a deep breath, he closed his eyes, "You tell them that everyone is a member of the company, and they also have a share of the company's debts, so if you want to separate the family, pay off the debts first." ”

When Hao Yandong heard this, he understood, "Okay, I'll go tell them." ”

When the words fell, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Lu Yong, who had a pale face, "Wait!" ”

Hao Yandong hurriedly stopped, turned around, and asked, "...... Are you okay? ”

Lu Yong suddenly burst into tears, "You help me tell Guo Yao, just say that I don't hate her, I want to see my son." ”

Hao Yandong sighed, nodded and agreed, "I'll do my best." ”

……

……

On January 15 of the following year, the court made a final ruling on the matter of the fraudster's lawsuit against Bronco Film, and the judgment was as follows: Tian Changqing fled with the money and was pursued by the relevant departments, and there was no contradiction with this case, therefore, the legal representative of Bronco Shadow was obliged to bear all responsibilities before the suspect was caught, and if the defendant was not satisfied with the verdict, he could appeal within 15 days after the verdict was issued.

When Lu Yong learned of the verdict through lawyer Hao, he was not shocked or unhappy, which is enough to see that Lu Yong had expected this result.

After that, Lu Yong did not appeal, because he knew that even if the appeal was appealed in the second instance, it would be rejected and lose face. Therefore, Lu Yong wanted to invite these deceived people to his hospital bed through lawyer Hao and negotiated the matter.

However, before Lu Yong could implement the plan, another thorny matter was placed in front of Lu Yong.

On January 20, several angry "old people", under the guidance of lawyer Hao, came to Lu Yong's bedside in the hospital to force debts.

Lu Yong said, "Lawyer Hao, you don't need to introduce them, I know them." ”

As soon as Lu Yong's words fell, one of these people came out, and he was Kong Qian, the dark-faced, bald and slightly chubby "uncle".

Kong Qian said angrily, "It's been three years, our Xianhe Sports Industry Investment Company has lent you 30 million yuan, but we haven't received a penny of repayment until now, you say, what do you want?" ”

He pointed to Lu Yong, who was lying on the hospital bed, and said loudly, "We limit you to pay off the loan within a week, otherwise, see you in court!" ”

When Lu Yong heard this, he closed his eyes and was silent, and at the same time, tears kept sliding down the outer canths of his eyes.

……

……

Five days later, on January 25, at the strong request of all shareholders of the company, Lu Yong temporarily left the hospital with a serious illness and came to the company's conference room to discuss with the shareholders the company's debt settlement and the cash withdrawal of shares.

After two hours of rigorous discussions, shareholders unanimously agreed with Mr. Lu's solution, which was to sell off the company's film rights, office buildings, and expensive film and television production equipment to deal with the crisis.

In this way, within a month, Lu Yong sold all the belongings of Bronco Film Investment, and recorded 380 million yuan, which was used to repay debts and cash out shares.

Subsequently, the debtless and light shareholders went their separate ways, leaving only Lu Yong, the terminally ill "boss", still struggling to repay the bank's debts.

At the end of February, Lu Yong had to "smash the pot and sell iron" to raise money to repay the loan under the ultimatum of the bank, and he sold six properties successively; two hotels operated; equity in a logistics company in a joint venture with Wu Xiaodong; and took out the 10 million yuan in cash that he cashed out with shares after peddling Mustang Shadow Investment, and barely paid off the loan.

However, at this moment, Lu Yong was so embarrassed that he had no money to treat his illness because he had exhausted his family property to pay off his debts, but Lu Yong's brother Lu Sen, as well as his friends Hong Kuan, Yan Wenqing, Li San, Liao Xiaowang and others, reached out to Lu Yong at this most critical moment to raise funds for Lu Yong's treatment.

……

……

On 12 April, Lu Yong, who continued to be hospitalized, was in a much better condition, and among the patients who shared his room, except for the thin old man named Wan Shigang, the others were seriously ill and unable to take care of themselves.

Therefore, in this ward, Wan Shigang is Lu Yong's only "chat" friend, especially when Lu Yong learned that Wan Lao will go to the operating table tomorrow to open his craniotomy and remove the tumor, Lu Yong can't sleep at night.

And the reason why Lu Yong worries about others is entirely because he is afraid that he will have that day.

In this way, Lu Yong, who couldn't sleep that night, chatted with Wan Shikun, who was lying on the hospital bed nearby, in the dark ward by the moonlight outside the window.

Lu Yong asked, "Uncle Wan, aren't you sleepy?" ”

When Wan Shigang heard this, he looked at Lu Yong on one side and asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

Lu Yong replied hesitantly, "...... I'm not sleepy either. ”

Wan Shikun suddenly said, "Your mind is too heavy, you should relax." ”

Lu Yong said, "It's difficult. Then he asked, "Do you have any solutions?" ”

Wan Shikun, who was lying flat, responded, "Of course there is." As he spoke, he groped under the pillow with his left hand, pulled out a book in the blink of an eye, and threw it to Lu Yong.

"Let's take a look."

After Lu Yong received the book, he carefully examined the book cover by the moonlight outside the window, and said to himself, "Lengyan Sutra!" ”

Wan Shigang continued, "Whenever I am restless and contradictory, I will look through this book to find comfort, but some friends have used this to ridicule me, saying that I am escaping reality by reading this kind of book, of course, I should refute them, but I didn't do it, I just secretly thought that when you are full of suffering, after tasting the warmth and coldness of the world, and then look at this scripture, you will find that your past and future have been reflected in it, especially when you are confused in order to find a new starting point, "Lengyan Sutra" can show you the way. ”

When Lu Yong heard this, he once again looked at the cover of this scripture by the faint moonlight outside the window, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

……

……

Ten days later, on May 2, Lu Yong's elder brother Lu Sen led Hong Kuan, Li San, Yan Wenqing, Huo Jianghua, Liao Xiaowang, and Ah Xiang, who had been abandoned by Tian Changqing, to visit Lu Yong in the hospital, but unexpectedly found that Lu Yong was no longer here.

Immediately, Lu Sen quickly found the chief physician of the hospital to ask the reason, and the reply he got turned out to be "Last night, Lu Yong insisted on going out for a walk, and after the approval of the attending physician of our hospital and signed a temporary discharge guarantee, he was let go, but he did not expect that he has not returned so far." However, we found two things under the pillow of Lu Yong's hospital bed, which may be used as clues to find Lu Yong. ”

After the chief resident doctor finished speaking, he immediately opened the drawer of his desk, took out two items, and placed them in front of Lu Sen.

At this moment, Lu Sen looked down and found that it was a thick book with three traditional Chinese characters written on the "Lengyan Sutra" and an unsealed letter.

Immediately, Lu Sen couldn't wait to pick up the letter, took out the letter and unfolded it, and silently recited: "My dear relatives and friends, when you see this letter, I have long since left this place, please forgive me for not saying goodbye, and please don't worry about me, I still live in this world, I still have a pure heart, looking for my spiritual home, I think, I can only eliminate my inner hesitation by staying away from profit; in order to get rid of the never-ending painful struggle; to find my original and true love. ”

When Lu Sen saw this, he picked up the thick scripture on the table and looked at it, and when he saw the three words "Lengyan Sutra" on the cover, he suddenly lost control of his emotions and burst into tears.

Postscript

This book is finally finished, for me, it is to express my thoughts through this book, I often think, if I were Lu Yong in the book, how would I choose my life, I am happy for his liberation, at the same time, I am helpless for my conservative thoughts, we all live in this era, I often wander in contradictions, I see many people smiling, but the heart is not happy, I know that we can't be physically freed, so let's find resonance in the spirit, maybe I'm mentally abnormal, but, It became clear to me that we were nothing more than test subjects for this era.
