As the long-lost son of the Lu family in Jiangzhou, Lu Yi originally thought this was heaven's favor upon him, but the truth was far from it.
Seventeen years of destitution did not earn h...
Du Guanglong warmly put his arm around Lu Yi's shoulder and introduced him to everyone.
"Third Brother!"
A dozen or so people put down what they were doing, put their hands behind their backs, and bowed in unison.
This scene startled Lu Yi.
"Brother Long, I've told you so many times, you guys tricked me into becoming sworn brothers back then, so don't call me that anymore!"
Du Guanglong instructed everyone to set out the food and drinks and wait for the show to begin.
After the people dispersed, Lu Yi noticed that a large green cloth was hanging on the dilapidated wall not far away.
The lights were shining brightly, just like the film sets that Lu Baoqi used to show off.
What are you doing here?
Du Guanglong shook his head, and the strategist-like man with glasses beside him quickly stepped forward with a smile.
"Third Brother, our eldest brother saw that scripted short videos are going viral online. Some people can earn hundreds of thousands a month just from one video. So, our eldest brother wants to give it a try too!"
"Short videos?"
Lu Yi remembered his suggestion to Gu Huainan to start a live stream and couldn't help but nod.
He then frowned and said, "Scripted short videos do have a certain audience. Do you need my advice?"
These brothers included tall and short, fat and thin, and some were missing arms and legs. Lu Yi really couldn't understand what they were trying to act!
"Third Brother, I'm sorry I can't give away any spoilers, you just sit back and watch the show!"
The boy with glasses seemed confident and snapped his fingers into the distance.
"Waaaaah, waaaaah!"
The lights suddenly dimmed, and when they came back on, a person appeared in the center of the green screen.
He was disheveled, dressed in rags, and knelt on the ground, bound hand and foot.
Worried that Lu Yi would see through his act, Du Guanglong offered a haphazard explanation: "The script written by Little Glasses is about a heartless man who pretends to be a rich young master, swindling and cheating people out of their money..."
"After being exposed, he was paraded through the streets as a public spectacle, and the woman's family members came one after another to seek revenge!"
That's about it.
Du Guanglong couldn't remember those fancy words, but he was already quite satisfied if he could get about 70% of the meaning right.
Seeing the man struggling desperately to escape, Lu Yi was about to say that this was acting a little too realistically.
Du Guanglong clapped his hands.
"Well done! Here's ten more bucks, keep going!"
Lu Yi was a little confused, but he was certain that Brother Long seemed to be starting to adapt to the current pace of society.
"Add twenty..."
Du Guanglong glanced at Lu Yi, who had crossed his legs and was smiling with one hand supporting his chin, and once again stepped in to lend his support!
