Chapter 32 Top Young Master vs. Wheelchair Boss 32

For Yu Lanxi, losing weight is a painful thing.

He feels uncomfortable if he eats less of his favorite food.

Lou Chengjue learned about Yu Lanxi's filming of "Butterfly Change" from Fang Wenchang.

He said, "Xiao Xi, you still have to lose ten pounds in the later stages... We can switch to another movie."

Including the five kilograms in the initial part and the ten kilograms in the later part, Yu Lanxi had to lose a total of fifteen kilograms for this movie.

The child's figure is already thin, and he lost weight to better fit the character image on camera. It looks better on the screen, but he looks even thinner in real life.

"No, I want to win an award." Yu Lanxi said, "Director Niu has a great team. I want to have my own masterpiece sooner rather than later. Then Uncle Lou can present me with the award on stage!"

"Okay, I'll give you the award." Lou Chengjue knew that the kid was working so hard just to get the official announcement as soon as possible.

Soon, Yu Lanxi joined the crew to film "Butterfly Transformation".

Director Niu is a very strict director in his work and has very high requirements for actors.

During the first script reading, Director Niu's comments made the actors feel extremely pressured.

"Xu Bing, you are the only one being praised..." Lou Chengjue looked at Yu Lanxi enviously.

In order to get into the role better, he now directly calls Yu Lanxi Xu Bing.

"Yeah." Yu Lanxi nodded calmly, as if this was a matter of course, especially like Xu Bing, the academic master, very arrogant.

Lou Chengjue said: "Wei Lai has undergone a transformation in the play, and I am afraid that I will also undergo a transformation in this crew."

Butterfly metamorphosis is an extreme change in insects.

Insects transform into better forms by staying in their cocoons without eating or moving.

For example, a caterpillar emerges from its cocoon and becomes a butterfly.

For insects, this metamorphosis is a torture and extremely painful, and many insects die due to failure in metamorphosis.

At first glance, the movie "Butterfly Changes", based on the characters and the beginning, seems very much like a youth film about romance.

In fact, there is no love scene in the movie.

Because of a Band-Aid, Wei Lai developed a crush on Su Qi from Qingyang Middle School and took a group of brothers to find Su Qi.

Su Qi was surrounded by a group of thugs and was terrified. Passersby avoided Su Qi's pleading eyes for fear of getting into trouble.

"Get in the car, I'll treat you to some milk tea. I won't eat you." Wei Lai scratched his head, not understanding why Su Qi was so scared that she was about to cry.

Wei Lai's brothers teased.

"Su Qi." Xu Bing walked through the circle of Wei Lai's gangster brothers. "Don't you have a question you want me to teach you? Let's go, we can talk while we walk."

"Oh... okay..." Su Qi nervously followed Xu Bing's footsteps.

The boy's expression was cold, but it made Su Qi feel extremely warm.

"Hey, the guy with glasses! You just took away the person I wanted to meet?" Wei Lai was unhappy.

Xu Bing turned around and said to Wei: "Why? Do you want me to teach you too?"

"What? Are you a good student?" Wei Lai was unhappy and wanted to show off. "If I want to learn, I'll find the best student to teach me. If you're not the best, shut up!"

"Xu Bing is the best in our school. He also took first place in the city joint examination." Su Qi's voice was much higher out of admiration for the academic god.

Wei Lai failed in his attempt to show off and felt that Xu Bing was really annoying.

His family was poor, and his parents were both old bastards who didn't work. Unlike Xu Bing, who was the top student in the best school in the city, he was the worst student in the worst school.

He was jealous and even envious of these clean students.

Until one day, Wei Lai accidentally saw Xu Bing walking towards a dirty and old neighborhood. He followed him and found that this man was born in the same quagmire as him and was far from so glamorous.

Standing downstairs, you can hear the sound of mahjong being rubbed and the cursing of Xu Bing.

"Xu Bing, you're reading again! It's all because of you that I lost! Get out!"

Wei Lai was in the corner and saw Xu Bing coming downstairs with a book. He stood under the dim street light and read quietly.

Xu Bing has such good grades and works so hard. He will definitely be admitted to a good university and have a bright and beautiful future.

Why is it that Xu Bing, who is proud and clean, strives hard to move forward while he is rotten in the mud, being also in the mud?

Wei Lai began to think about his future. Is he going to live like this for the rest of his life?

"Are you here to ask me for extra lessons?" Xu Bing asked.

Wei Lai was so scared that he ran away on the spot. He didn't know why he ran. It might be because of the natural inferiority complex he had towards the top student.

It may also be that you see the embarrassing side of the other person behind the glamorous appearance and don’t know how to express it.

-

This was Lou Chengjue's first visit to the crew, and his assistant ordered a batch of five-star meals and internet-famous drinks.

Yu Lanxi is filming the scene where Xu Bing is beaten by his father.

Drunk, Mr. Xu pressed the thin boy down and assaulted him unilaterally.

"You look down on me, don't you? You think you're great just because you're good at studying? Even if you turn into a golden phoenix, you're still my offspring!"

Xu Bing did not resist, because resistance would only bring more punches.

The boy lay on the ground, looking ahead numbly.

Lou Chengjue looked at the expression played by Yu Lanxi, and felt as if he had been stung by a poisonous insect, and his heart was aching.

"Cut! Mr. Lou is treating everyone to a big dinner today, let's take a break and eat!" Director Niu shouted.

Yu Lanxi lost focus in an instant, still lying on the ground, staring at Lou Chengjue with sparkling eyes.

Such a sudden change in expression was very eye-catching. Director Niu looked at Yu Lanxi, then at Lou Chengjue, and his heart moved.

The actor who played Xu's father came forward and looked at Yu Lanxi: "Are there any scratches on your face?"

"It's okay to have a few minor scratches, honestly." Yu Lanxi smiled slightly, "It's okay."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to run towards Lou Chengjue.

Lou Chengjue looked at the scratches on his face and frowned, but didn't say anything. It was normal to have some minor injuries while filming.

While the two were having dinner together, Director Niu knocked on the door and entered Yu Lanxi's lounge.

"Xiaoyu, this meal..." Director Niu held the lunch box and looked at Yu Lanxi's set meal, which was more luxurious than others, and said quietly, "Don't eat too much."

Lou Chengjue's glares flew towards Director Niu.

Director Niu immediately changed his tone: "It's just one meal, there's definitely no problem. You've worked hard filming, so eat more."

"Director Niu, you didn't come here to supervise me eating, did you?" Yu Lanxi asked, "Is there something wrong?"

After Director Niu sat down, he said excitedly: "The way you looked at Mr. Lou while you were lying on the ground instantly reminded me of a part of the plot that the screenwriter had deleted before."

"What's the plot?" Yu Lanxi asked.

Director Niu said: "Wei Lai is confused about the future and is completely in a fog. But Xu Bing has always had a specific and firm goal. He knows what kind of person he wants to be in the future. In fact, there is such a person."

"So Xu Bing's grades were mediocre in his freshman year, but he suddenly exploded in his sophomore year because he met someone like this?"

Yu Lanxi read the script several times and chewed over the plot over and over again.

The script he got had deleted this person, but he also had some guesses.

Director Niu said, "Of course not, but no one in the industry has this kind of temperament and persuasiveness. The screenwriter and I discussed deleting this part."

Yu Lanxi guessed: "Director Niu wants Uncle Lou to play the role?"

"Yes! This character's face doesn't appear on screen, and he doesn't have many lines." Director Niu boldly asked, "Mr. Lou, would you like to make a cameo appearance?"

Lou Chengjue was thinking.

"Uncle Lou, if you have time, why not make a guest appearance?" Yu Lanxi poked Lou Chengjue's shoulder.

This time, Chengjue didn't need to think about it and agreed directly: "Okay."

"I'll ask the screenwriter to organize the flyers, and we can start shooting later! It definitely won't delay Mr. Lou for long!" Director Niu ran out excitedly.

While Yu Lanxi was eating, Director Niu and the screenwriter brought the contents of the flying pages over.

"Uncle Lou, just play yourself." Yu Lanxi took a quick look. "It's not difficult."

This easy scene between the two attracted the attention of everyone in the crew.

Especially Lou Mingyang, he couldn't help but gossip with his parents in the family group - his uncle appeared for love!

Now I can make a guest appearance in a movie for Xiao Xi, and maybe I can even accompany him on a TV show in the future!

Yu Lanxi took off her glasses without being reminded by the screenwriter and director. When Xu Bing was in the first year of high school, he did not work hard and was not nearsighted.

Xu Bing worked during the summer vacation of his freshman year in high school. He was so tired that he felt dizzy and accidentally stained a customer's clothes. The wages he had just received had to be used for compensation.

He was so poor that he had no money to buy lunch, and his plan to buy new shoes was ruined. He looked down at the glue overflowing from the edge of his shoes and felt worried.

Seeing the shoe threatening to separate from the body again, he was so angry that he laughed and slapped the back of his hand holding the coffee.

He looked forward to returning home soon and repairing his old shoes with glue.

Standing in the middle of the zebra crossing, he saw double in front of his eyes and shook his head, wanting to quickly cross the street.

Unable to support his body, he fell to the ground.

When Lou Chengjue saw the child really fall to the ground, his body naturally leaned towards the door and he wanted to get out of the car.

The screenwriter acting as the driver said, "Boss Lou, Teacher Yu used some tricks when she fell. It looked like she fell hard, but it didn't hurt that much."

"I know." Lou Chengjue said.

The moment Xu Bing fell, the upper and the shoe finally fell apart.

He was embarrassed because the raised upper of his shoes would reveal his torn socks...

My foot tried to curl up in the shoe to hide the hole.

When the people around saw Xu Bing fall, no one dared to step forward to help, as they were afraid of trouble and being scammed.

Xu Bing smiled self-deprecatingly. No one was approaching, so no one would notice that his shoes were broken and his socks were torn.

"Mr. Lou, I'll park the car later and you can get out and hug her." The screenwriter said, "It doesn't matter what your expression is. It will be processed in post-production so the audience won't see it."

Xu Bing looked in a daze as a luxury car stopped not far away and a man in a well-tailored suit got out of the car.

The shiny leather shoes and silver-gray suit made him look tall and straight, and he looked more elite than the people he saw on TV.

Compared to him who grew up in a stinky ditch, the other person was like the moon in the sky.

The scorching sun shone down on the man's body, giving him a layer of gold.

Unfortunately, he fainted before he could see the other person's face clearly.

Lou Chengjue felt his heart clenched as he looked at Yu Lanxi lying motionless on the ground.

He bent down and picked up Yu Lanxi with brisk movements. Looking at the child's pale face, there was worry between his brows.

Yu Lanxi was carried into the car and the director outside called cut.

He opened his eyes and blinked at Lou Chengjue, whose face was tense.

"The makeup artist applied very realistic makeup, right?"

"Xiao Xi's acting was so realistic."

When Xu Bing woke up again, he was in the hospital. A kind-hearted person paid his medical bills without leaving any message and gave him a pair of new shoes.

He asked many people but couldn't find out the identity of the kind-hearted person.

He didn't even know what the kind-hearted person looked like.

But just such a vague outline was enough to help the confused Xu Bing find his direction.

Many people probably don’t know what they want to do throughout their lives, and Xu Bing is the same.

Like most ordinary people, he doesn't know what he is good at and has no dreams.

Now that he has it, he wants to be someone like the Good Samaritan in the future.

After filming this scene, Yu Lanxi took Lou Chengjue to Director Niu to watch the replay.

"Just getting out of the car, walking a few steps forward, bending down to pick someone up and putting them back in the car, created an infinite sense of story and tension. Few people besides Mr. Lou could have done that," Director Niu said. "Thanks to Xiaoyu! Otherwise, how could our crew have hired Mr. Lou?"

A big shot like Mr. Lou, who has everything from fame to money, cannot be moved by benefits at all.

Yu Lanxi was very satisfied with the clip. He said, "Yes, Uncle Lou has such a good figure and such a domineering aura. Who wouldn't be attracted by him?"

It’s like the person in a dream, who has become a reality and arouses people’s infinite longing.

Director Niu teased: "Xiaoyu also longs for it?"

"I yearn for it." Yu Lanxi turned her head to look at Lou Chengjue.

Lou Chengjue affirmed: "No need to yearn for it, Xiaoxi, you are good enough as you are."

A scene was inserted temporarily and the crew's rehearsal was changed, so Yu Lanxi finished work earlier than usual today.

The hotel arranged by the crew for Yu Lanxi is very good.

After entering the hotel, Lou Chengjue turned on the TV and said, "Let's watch 'The Legend of Haotian' together."

"Uncle Lou even knows that 'The Legend of Haotian' has started airing?"

"Yeah, I waited a long time."

Lou Chengjue couldn't explain why, but he was not interested in the kid's previous dramas, but he had been looking forward to the premiere of "Haotian Legend" and wanted to see the results of the kid's acting.

"I didn't have many scenes in the first two episodes," Yu Lanxi said. "Later on, I had more scenes with Lou Mingyang, so my role became bigger."

Lou Chengjue said: "They are all the essence."

"Legend of Haotian" received widespread acclaim upon its premiere, especially Yu Lanxi, whose acting skills had made a qualitative leap and won her countless fans.

In the past, Yu Lanxi also had a lot of fans, but they were all fans of her looks. This time, she won two prizes: fans of her looks, fans of her acting skills, and fans of her career.

Lou Chengjue watched the show with Yu Lanxi and read the online comments to see how the situation was going.

Most of them were compliments, mixed with some reckless words like wanting to have children for Yu Lanxi, or calling his wife "I want to sleep with her."

Today's fans really dare to say anything bold.

"Uncle Lou, are you planning to switch careers and become my agent?" Yu Lanxi noticed that he was paying attention to online reviews and snatched his phone away. "Am I not better than the comments?"

"You look better." Lou Chengjue looked at him with gloomy eyes, hugged him in his arms and kissed him.

It’s easy to get jealous if you read too many comments.

I couldn't help but kiss her even harder.
