Chapter 249 - 250 His Dream [6]
"Fly away, beyond the brawling, we can also have ’The Lord of the Rings,’ ’The Black Empire,’ ’Star Wars,’ ’The Shawshank Redemption’..."
Luo Xiaoqian looked at him sideways, listening intently until he finished his long speech. Only then did she raise her glass of juice to gently clink against his beer.
"I believe in you, you will definitely succeed. Here’s to Emperor View becoming China’s ’Hollywood DreamWorks,’ cheers!"
"No!" Leng Zimo shook his head slightly, "Emperor View will never become an imitation, a mere replica. My ultimate dream is to make Emperor View a leader in the industry, to forge an Eastern entertainment world that is unlike Hollywood yet can still capture the attention of the entire globe! Cheers!"
Their glasses met once again, then one sipped beer and the other juice.
Afterward, Leng Zimo naturally started talking about his plans, including the current movie project with an investment of three hundred million.
Leng Zimo, who was usually so sparing with his words, was uncharacteristically talkative that evening.
Every now and then, he would drop some highly technical English film jargon which Luo Xiaoqian didn’t fully understand; however, she was listening very carefully, very attentively.
Even though she didn’t quite grasp the professional details, she understood his thoughts, his dreams.
This man, who seemed so cool and detached, had a world of dazzling wonders within him, beneath that hard exterior.
Although he could have achieved greater personal success, he resolutely switched to studying economics and started a company instead, chasing a dream that many in the film and entertainment industry dared to dream but not to pursue.
Even if the world accused him of just wanting to make money, forgetting his true calling.
Even if people misunderstood him.
He didn’t bother to explain, just doggedly, steadily, worked hard toward that dream.
Everyone saw the many accolades he collected, but who knew the tumultuous grandeur within the man beneath those laurels?
"...I believe that in the near future, all of this will come to fruition, and when people think of movies, the word ’Hollywood’ won’t be the first thing that springs to mind!"
"I believe it too. I believe in you, you can definitely do it!"
Leng Zimo turned his face toward her.
There was Luo Xiaoqian, hugging her knees, her cheek resting on her arms, her large eyes shining like stars in the night, intently watching him.
"Do you really believe?"
"Believe!" Luo Xiaoqian sat up straight, "To say it out loud without worrying about being laughed at, back then, I took you as my idol. In my mind, the name Leng Zimo stood for someone who could do anything. Every single song you released not only broke new records but also reinvented yourself. When you stepped down from your pedestal to study economics, everyone felt it was such a pity, saying how could someone like you be suited for business. But I just believed that whatever this man set his mind to, there was nothing he couldn’t achieve!"
Leng Zimo’s fans were spread across the world, and even though he hadn’t released any music or filmed any works for years, his every move still captured everyone’s attention.
But no one had ever shown him such unconditional trust, especially not at his lowest point.
"Xiao Qian, thank you!"
Meeting her gaze, he spoke sincerely.
