Chapter 036

Deng Mei's eyes lit up as he read. How could he put it? This script really touched his heart. Just from the words alone, he could tell it was a good movie, a good ghost movie to be more precise. The characterization of Chu Renmei was really strong. That sense of atmosphere, that feeling of powerlessness that could not resist...

that is...

Deng Mei put down the script, looked at Lu Xingzhou and asked, "Who wrote this script?"

Lu Xingzhou pointed at himself and said, "I have another boss, but he is not in this world."

[He is indeed not in this world, but in another world.]

Lu Yun'er looked at Lu Xingzhou with pity, and he remembered what Lu Xingzhou had said before.

In his previous life, he was an orphan who tried his best to live on his own, but...

In this life, he was again schemed and switched by that idiot Shen Tingbai. His little six was really pitiful.

Deng Mei licked his lips, nodded, and said, "In that case, then I have no problem. Have you found the actors? The role of Chu Renmei is not easy to play..."

Lu Xingzhou shook his head and said, "I want to use projection to film the role of Chu Renmei. As long as the movements are twisted enough and the atmosphere is scary enough, it will be fine. The actor has been found, and the male lead will be next to me."

Lu Yun'er beside him shed tears silently. Thinking of Chu Renmei, the psychological shadow and disgust that Gu Chen brought to him were not so deep anymore.

Deng Mei looked at Lu Yun'er's sad, fearful and trembling expression and nodded with satisfaction. Very good, just looking at Lu Yun'er's expression, he knew that he could definitely act out that feeling of fear and panic.

The two chatted about other things for a while, and after confirming the time, Deng Mei made his decision. He looked at Lu Xingzhou and said, "I'll take the photo."

Lu Xingzhou extended his hand and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation?"

The two held hands, smiling, but Lu Yun'er's smile next to them gradually turned bitter.

The director has been found, everything else is ready, and his nightmare seems to be about to begin.

Just as Deng Mei was about to study the script again, Lu Xingzhou took out a stack of contracts. Deng Mei looked at Lu Xingzhou with a questioning look on his face.

Lu Xingzhou continued with a smile, "Director Deng, do you accept investment?"

Deng Mei blinked. He looked at Lu Xingzhou, then at Lu Yuner and said, "Investment?"

Lu Xingzhou nodded and said, "I want to invest in your variety show, the family variety show."

Deng Mei's expression was a little bitter. When he thought of his variety show, he felt dizzy and his blood rushed to his head.

When he thought of those guests, he wanted to rush into the river to take a bath and calm down. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. I plan to stop filming that variety show after this season. At the beginning, everyone was a little bit curious about it, but now... you'll get tired of watching too much bickering and hair-pulling."

Lu Xingzhou nodded and said, "I know, so I changed some things. You can take a look. There's nothing wrong with quarreling and pulling hair..."

[I was worried that they would run out of things to talk about later. One thing led to another, and the third season was completely ruined. The popularity was so high at the time, but the investors ran away, which is why the filming lasted for three years. There was no such thing as Mao's director. Deng Mei even had a nickname at the time, "Director Mao," meaning the director without any hair...]

Lu Yuner almost laughed out loud. Deng Mei looked at him strangely. Lu Yuner waved his hand and said, "That's not right. Director Deng, please take a look first. I think our Zhou Zhou's idea is pretty good."

Deng Mei frowned. What the hell...

He received the message from Lu Xingzhou and looked at the process of the new version of the ship. Oh wow, it was exciting.

Going to the countryside, returning to reality, bringing together several families, exchanging labor for supplies...

Lu Xingzhou only provided a rough process, and Deng Mei had to decide how to set up the content himself.

But just looking at the idea, it is very feasible.

Their current script is to film the interactions between families, and then in the evening, several families gather together to get to know each other.

Because he was the first to try out a sober variety show that captured celebrities' private family lives and interactions with their families, it was quite popular in the early stages.

The first season was very popular, and the entire Internet was talking about this variety show. The second season became more and more ridiculous, with everyone being sarcastic and the whole Internet was filled with emoticons of quarrels.

Now it is the third season, and it is no longer very popular. Instead, some slow-life variety shows are starting to become popular.

He had originally planned to stop after finishing filming the third season, but he thought Lu Xingzhou's suggestion was really feasible.

And to be honest, because the enthusiasm is gradually decreasing, some investors have indeed expressed their intention not to continue investing, which is also one of the reasons why he does not plan to continue.

If, he meant if, he changed the process according to this, and with Lu Xingzhou's investment, he felt that he could continue.

It’s just that those guests are more difficult to deal with.

He also mentioned this matter to Lu Xingzhou in a tactful way.

Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "Well...don't worry, the guests...maybe they'll just pay the penalty and withdraw on their own."

Deng Mei didn't quite believe it, but whatever the sponsor said was the truth. Now Lu Xingzhou had become his sponsor, whether it was movies or variety shows.

He looked at the script in his hand and didn't plan to return it, so he stuffed it into his bag. The movie script was very detailed, and he planned to go back and think carefully about how to shoot it. As for the actors, Lu Xingzhou said that he would directly delegate the power.

Don't worry, don't worry. He still has time. The equipment and location are all ready. The actors can just join the crew for filming. This time is just right for him to do his homework.

The dishes were all served. Lu Yuner drank a sip of orange juice to soothe his bitter heart. Forget it, just accept it.

At this time, the dishes were served. The three of them were already hungry. They looked at each other, smiled and said, "Let's eat. There's just the three of us, so there's no need to say too much."

I have to say that the food in this restaurant is really good, and of course the prices are attractive too. Because of Lu Yuner, they can only come here. It has strong privacy and requires membership, so there is no need to worry about people following them and filming them.

They were having dinner when they heard the sound of things being thrown and bowls being smashed from next door. The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Xingzhou's eyes lit up. There was melon to eat.

A faint voice came from the other side, saying something like "Wang Cheng, you are ungrateful, how could you do this to me."

Lu Yun'er was also shocked. The sound insulation here was very good, so this was enough to show how hysterical the people over there were.

There was a knock on the door of their box, and Lu Yuner said, "Come in."

A waiter came in with a dessert and said embarrassedly: "This is from the customer next door. Sorry to disturb you."

Lu Yun'er nodded and didn't make things difficult for the waiter. After all, it had nothing to do with him.

Lu Xingzhou was thinking, "Wangcheng... why does this name sound so familiar?"

[I remember now! The one from the Wang family, their family quarreled every other day, apparently because the couple hadn't had children for years.]

Lu Yun'er silently pricked up his ears. Oh, there was some news. He knew Wang Cheng, the youngest son of the Wang family, who was spoiled by his family. He was with the girl from the Liu family, and they had been married for about ten years.

Deng Mei was also a little surprised. This was Lu Xingzhou's voice, but he didn't say anything.

He looked at Lu Yun'er beside him and was about to ask, but found that he couldn't open his mouth.

Lu Xingzhou ate in silence, while listening to the broadcast of the plants next door who were watching the fun, so that he could eat melons in his heart.

[Ohhhhhhh, the fight has started, the fight has started!!]

At this time, the noise over there had quieted down, and the sound insulation effect was still effective.

Deng Mei was startled. He understood that what he heard was Lu Xingzhou's inner voice!

Looking at the contract in his hand, he suddenly realized, so it was because he signed the contract that he could hear it?

He observed Lu Yun'er carefully and found that Lu Yun'er's eyes were full of gossip and his attention was all on Lu Xingzhou. He blinked. Lu Yun'er can do it too?

[Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder his wife had sex with him...]

Lu Yun'er looked at Lu Xingzhou anxiously. What on earth was the reason for the fight to start right outside?

[Kick him in the groin!! Yes, step on him! Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Wang Cheng's face is twisted in pain but he doesn't dare to scream. Yes, yes, yes, spank him. This man deserves a spanking!]

After hearing this, Lu Yun'er wanted to lean over to take a look. Deng Mei also looked anxious. He was really curious about what had happened.

[Hahahaha, this is hilarious. Wang Cheng is truly a complete jerk. He didn't even bother to check on the baby, instead putting all the blame on his wife. He even secretly bought urine from pregnant women for his wife to drink. Just a few days ago, his wife saw the ingredients and realized something was wrong. She only realized it was urine during dinner today, and that's when they started fighting.]

Lu Yuner almost vomited. No, this guy must be sick.

Deng Mei retched. Lu Xingzhou looked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Deng Mei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my stomach isn't feeling well."

Lu Xingzhou said, "Oh!" He pushed the chicken soup toward Deng Mei and said, "Have some chicken soup."

Deng Mei couldn't drink at all, and Lu Xingzhou's attention shifted to the next room.

Wang Cheng is so confident... His mother told him that pregnant women's urine can produce progesterone in advance, and that drinking it can make people pregnant. Ugh, terrible, ignorance is terrible, this is really a stinky melon...

Lu Xingzhou actually knew a little about this, but the things extracted from a pregnant woman's urine couldn't make a woman pregnant at all. Instead, they were some other hormones. After pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body would undergo some changes, and there were indeed some things in the urine that could be used to make medicine.

He had heard about this when he was working at a pharmaceutical company.

Lu Yuner continued to eat with an indifferent expression. The food was indeed delicious, so why did the couple say these things in the dining room? It was all their fault!

He looked at Deng Mei. He had seen Deng Mei retching just now. He would have to talk to Deng Mei later.

After eating and drinking, the three of them just walked to the door and saw an ambulance parked outside. Lu Xingzhou was not surprised. He glanced at the ambulance without saying anything. Lu Yuner and Deng Mei next to him were clicking their tongues in their hearts.

The two of them deliberately walked a little slower, and soon a man with a bruised face and nose was helped out, still saying, "No need to call the police, no need to call the police."

A woman followed behind him. Apart from her messy hair, she looked fine. She looked at Wang Cheng with a sneer on her face.

The two of them hissed and silently quickened their pace to catch up with Lu Xingzhou...

Lu Xingzhou turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you two so slow?"

Lu Yuner said, "I see an acquaintance, the Wang family's royal city."

Lu Xingzhou raised an eyebrow, and Lu Yuner continued, "He was beaten terribly. It was his wife who beat him."

Lu Xingzhou knew this of course, as the entire process was being broadcast live, and the tree in the yard was very excited to see it.

Lu Yuner came up with a smile and said, "I don't know why."

Deng Mei, who was standing next to him, listened silently without saying anything. Lu Xingzhou glanced at his brother and said, "No matter what the reason was, he deserved this beating."

When they arrived at the place, Lu Yuner entered the dressing room and Deng Mei realized that something was wrong. Why did he follow her here?

Lu Xingzhou watched his brother go in, then staggered off to look for Si Dan. As for Deng Mei, since he was already there, of course he went to look for his teacher, Director Zhou.

Si Dan was rubbing his brows as he looked at Si You, who looked stubborn. When Lu Xingzhou came over, Si You was about to turn around and leave. Si Dan angrily said, "If you leave, don't come back!"

Lu Xingzhou grabbed Si You who was about to run away and pulled him in.

Si You, who originally wanted to struggle, became quiet when he saw that the person coming was Lu Xingzhou. Si Dan had a solemn expression and sat there without saying a word.

Lu Xingzhou looked at the brother and sister and asked, "What's wrong?"

Si Dan exhaled slowly, he looked at Si Dan and said, "Ask her!"

Lu Xingzhou looked at Si Dan, who became a little embarrassed under Lu Xingzhou's gaze. She had said it to her brother, but when facing Lu Xingzhou, she suddenly found it difficult to speak.

Lu Xingzhou is a little older than her, handsome, and capable. She has a bit of admiration for Si You in her heart.

Si Dan sighed, and now he was just glad that he listened to Yun Er and Zhou Zhou and brought the person to his side.

Otherwise, it will be too late for him to regret.

Si You tugged at the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and whispered, "I'm just in love."

Lu Xingzhou glanced at Si Dan and said, "Brother Dan, don't be angry first. Xiaoyou is young and in adolescence, so it's normal for her to have a crush on a boy."

[It seems like that yellow-haired guy is here to stay. No wonder Dan is so angry. Who wouldn't be furious if they found out their well-behaved sister was hanging out with a yellow-haired scoundrel?]

Lu Yuner, who was changing clothes next door, opened his eyes. The yellow-haired man Zhou Zhou mentioned appeared?

Si Dan snorted coldly and said, "It's normal to fall in love during adolescence. Everyone has feelings when they first fall in love. The problem is, look at what she found!"

Si Dan handed the phone to Lu Xingzhou, and Lu Xingzhou took a look at the man in the photo.

To be honest, he couldn't see any advantages of this man in this photo.

He looked at Si You next to him and asked with a puzzled look, "Your classmate?"

Si You really found it difficult to speak under Lu Xingzhou's gaze, mainly because Lu Xingzhou's questioning was too obvious, the kind of look that asked, "What on earth do you see in him? Are your eyes not very good?"

This immediately pricked Si You's self-esteem.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "No, he dropped out of school."

"drop out?!!"

Si Dan couldn't understand. He looked at his sister and said, "What on earth are you thinking?"

Si You looked up at her brother and said, "How can I think that? I just like him. He will pick me up from school, buy me breakfast, go shopping with me, and take me home. Will you?"

Lu Xingzhou sighed, looked at Si You and said, "So, you like him?"

Si You nodded and said, "Yes, he is very good to me, he has a gentle personality, and he will stand up for me."

[Ah, right, right, he picked you up because it was on his way. He bought you breakfast with your money and even bought some for himself before bringing it back to you after he finished eating. He went shopping with you because you bought him clothes. Isn't it his responsibility to take you home?]

Lu Yuner was dumbfounded. No, it seemed that his brother Dan's sister was not very smart...

But considering her age, it's normal. What can a girl in the first year of high school understand?

Lu Xingzhou waved his hand and asked, "Who pays for the money when you two are together?"

Si You was silent for a long time and then said, "He has no money, but he works very hard."

Si Dan sneered and said, "Hard work? Hanging out in the internet cafe every day is hard work? Asking you for money is hard work? And look at what he posted next! Si You! I paid for your education and gave you good food and drink, not for you to be like this!"

Si Dan really couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't seen it and Si You had really sent it to him. Moreover, he really didn't believe that someone who asked an underage girl for nude photos was a good person.

Si You became irritable. She looked at Si Dan and shouted, "Did I ask you to support me? Did I ask you to pay me? He is just working hard. He is in the Internet cafe for work. Why do you look down on him?"

Lu Xingzhou looked at Si You. She couldn't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her boyfriend. Her eyes turned red and she glared at her brother.

Si Dan was so angry that he raised his hand, looked at Si You's stubborn expression for a long time, and then put it down.

Lu Xingzhou frowned, something was not right with Si You.

Looking at Si You like this, it’s impossible to talk to her normally. If Si You is allowed to go find her boyfriend, the consequences will probably be the same as before.

Lu Xingzhou sat down and said, "So let me summarize: you're dating a scoundrel with average looks, who dropped out of school and lives off the pocket money you give him?"

Si You's head seemed to be hit by a bell, and her brain began to buzz. She shook her head and said, "No, no."

Lu Xingzhou held out his hand to signal her not to speak. He continued, "According to your description, he is like this. How old is he?"

Before Si You could recover, she opened her mouth and said, "20."

Lu Xingzhou was silent for a moment and then said, "Does he know that you are only 15?"

Si You didn't say anything, that expression obviously answered everything.

Si Dan took a cigarette and looked at it for a long time without lighting it. He looked at Si You and said, "So, what do you like about him?"

Si You still didn't say anything. She didn't know how to answer, nor did she want to admit that the person she liked was so unbearable.

Lu Xingzhou looked at Si You and said, "You don't know how to say it. You don't want to admit that the person you like is like this, but that's just who he is. Xiaoyou, Brother Dan has worked very hard. You're his only relative. As a brother, there are some things he might not be able to say, so he can only rely on giving you money to eat well, live well, and live well. As for your boyfriend, I suggest you don't contact him for the time being."

Si You's tears fell. She had been following Si Dan around these past few days and had seen quite a few things. She had a vague feeling that something was not right.

But she didn't want to admit it.

Si Dan looked at Lu Xingzhou and said, "Xiao Zhou, thank you."

Lu Xingzhou shook his head and said, "It's okay, Brother Dan, I suggest you find someone to investigate this person... How did he, a gangster, get to know Xiaoyou?"

Si You raised his head, his eyes red as he said, "One day after school, Xiao Ling asked me to accompany her to the jewelry store. I was waiting for her outside, and then I accidentally bumped into him. Later, we met again, and we slowly got to know each other."

Lu Xingzhou looked at Si You and said, "Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

Lu Yuner walked in. He handed Lu Xingzhou a bottle of water and said, "Okay, Zhou Zhou, stop talking. Your mouth is dry."

He looked at Si Dan calmly and said, "It's better to let her take it easy on some things. You two depend on each other, and she needs to understand some things when you're not around."

Si Dan nodded. He always thought Si You was still young, but now that she was in high school, she should have some awareness of self-protection.

And after listening to Lu Xingzhou's words, Si Dan really felt that something was not right...

Si You wiped her tears and looked at the three people without saying a word. She either didn't understand the reason, or... she didn't know what was going on, but she suddenly got angry.

Now that she's quiet, it seems she really has gone too far.

She looked at Si Dan and whispered, "Brother, I'm sorry..."

Si Dan shook his head and said, "It's okay, just don't contact him for the time being."

Si You nodded, Si Dan sighed and touched her head, Lu Xingzhou pulled Lu Yun'er out, leaving the place to them, the brother and sister.

He was thinking about other things.

[Speaking of which, Gu Chen is so skilled at this, this must be more than his first time doing this, right? No, I'll ask my connections in the animal world. Maybe we can even bust a transnational gang. We still have to start with this little scoundrel.]

Lu Yun'er was stunned. Yeah, that scene was so shocking that he had forgotten one thing: selling people abroad to do dirty things was illegal. Gu Chen was so skilled, it must not be his first time. Damn it, check him out!
