The Hero

Chapter 210 Fully Accepting

Lloyd did not want to attend the press conference, but he came after thinking about it. The reason was none other than his desire to appear in front of the camera and deliver a message to Javier: Maybe Javier can easily destroy it on many levels, but Iloyd still has the final say in show business!

Representing his company, Lloyd took a pen to sign the contract, while four popular celebrities signed it each. From then on, their management company will work under the media company Lloyd.

After applause and cheers, the four celebrities took to the stage to perform, sing and dance. Even though they did a bad job at both, everything was fine. It did not dampen the festive atmosphere.

Chad opens a folder to pick up some documents and stands up with the intention to make the press conference more festive, but Javier stops him. When Chad is confused, Javier takes the documents from him and gets up to see Lloyd on stage.

When Javier wakes up, Lloyd notices him too. There's no snob, because Lloyd doesn't practice. Moreover, he did not dare to laugh after seeing what was in Javier's hands. Obviously, the latter would not come to meet him with a pile of scrap paper, so what he was holding was definitely something that would bring Lloyd down.

Based on what Lloyd knows about Javier, Lloyd's company might be in big trouble if it did, even worse than he lost tens of millions of dollars previously.

Therefore, when Javier waved the documents to signal him to speak, he got up to leave with a smile without hesitation.

Lloyd called on his staff to remove all unnecessary people from the dugout next to the press conference, leaving him and Javier alone.

After sitting on the bench, Javier pulled out a cigarette and lit it before gesturing for Lloyd to do the same. The latter shook his head, rejecting the cigarette, but took the document that Javier then threw at him.

Popular male celebrity A is arrested by police for molesting his female schoolmate. His deeds had been chalked up afterwards, but the record could not be simply erased just because he was rich. Therefore, the popular male celebrity A is done.

Popular male celebrity B has paid someone to take a High School exam for him and has a physical conflict with someone from the education department that led to them being hospitalized. The incident has not been reported to police, but there is live footage. Therefore, the popular male celebrity B is done.

Popular female celebrity A was once a companion, and certain production teams have seen her while she works away from home. He then started sleeping to become the main character and gained his current fame. Many insiders can attest to what he has done, as his skills cannot be underestimated due to his age. Hence, the popular female celebrity A was done.

Popular female celebrity B is a good student and good shoes. He did nothing wrong, but his face was fake. Regular photos and photos of her identity before plastic surgery were exposed, and she looked like she could scare the audience if she took on a bad role. Therefore, popular female celebrity B is done.

Lloyd has signed a total of four men today, but the four of them have been dug up. There was also a lot of pressure present at the moment, so if Javier were to publicize this defilement, even though Lloyd was not too concerned about the destruction of the four celebrities, his company would be completely destroyed, as his reputation would decline.

Other people will not only suspect the standards and tastes of the company in terms of talent acquisition, but they will also be skeptical if current corporate actors have a dirty past. They might even see the company as a camp for troubled celebrities.

Once some media adds fuel to the fire, Lloyd's company will be completely destroyed. The stock price will plummet without any hope of rising again. Who knows how many people will go down with his company?

Javier smoked his cigarette and told Lloyd, “My initial plan was to send this and drop you directly, but I relented after thinking about it. You are capable of what you do. It's no use if I destroy you all of a sudden.”

Javier sounded superior as he spoke, as if he were talking to Lloyd from the clouds. Nonetheless, the latter was not disappointed in the least, as he knew what Javier said was the truth and he wanted to know what else Javier wanted to do.

However, when he asked this question, Javier talked about something else. He talks about screenwriter Daniel, who has taken the initiative to stay in a mental hospital to experience life there and produce a good script, only to turn into a psychiatric patient in the end.

He talks about actor Cillian, who can forget the last part of his life just to bring a good script to life.

“I don't care about the box office or the cost. I only care if this movie can win the hearts of strangers and make me feel better. That way, I will not feel guilty when remembering Daniel or Cillian, but I will be happy to tell them that we won.”

What Javier said moved Lloyd's heart. He thought Javier was coming for his money and the market, but he didn't. He just wants to make a good movie, which can win Osbom. That'sthat's all.

Lloyd did not receive the cigarette Javier had offered before, but he asked for it now and sat down next to Javier.

"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't sabotage something like this. Even if this doesn't happen tonight, I won't. I'm a businessman, yes, but I was first a Chinese and then a filmmaker. These two identities are enough to keep the m

e of sabotaging this endeavor.

“I can also work with you, sharing all shooting resources, publicity resources, and whatever your company needs that we have without any fees or payment agreement.”

Javier reached out, and Lloyd did not hesitate to shake it.

Javier doesn't insist on winning this game with Lloyd. If he did, the latter would be destroyed. What Javier was talking about was the greater good, so Lloyd bought it. He accepted the idea completely. He is increasingly impressed with Javier, especially because he is not capable of doing this.

“If Chinese filmmaker like you, we will have a significant influence in the world now.”

Hearing Lloyd's praise, Javier replied, “No need to flatter me. That won't change my decision to acquire your company.”

Lloyd paused for a moment before smiling. “You are very ambitious.”

“I have established a media company. It would be a waste of my efforts if I didn't make it the biggest and strongest in the country right now, wouldn't it? answer Javier.

Lloyd was silent for a moment before he said, “I don't know if you've heard the adjective used when I was young. That means you're cool, but our term is more reserved. We usually say you're rad!

Javier pursed his lips. “That's because you got to know me too late. If you meet me early, you'll realize that I've been a rad for the last 20 years!

Lloyd entertained. "Really showing!"

Javier did not continue the discussion of the topic. He turned off his cigarette on the floor and asked, “You drink?”

"certain." Lloyd nodded.

Therefore, the two alleged enemies shared a table and had a good drink that night, so much so that the first thing Javier saw when he woke up the next morning was Lloyd's face. Surprised, he quickly looked down to check his pants. Thankfully, they were still there for him …
