Very good, case solved.

Chang Xue looked at the iron dragon that had been stuck outside the car window for an hour without moving much, and said in a very numb tone: "Tell me again what you are going to do."

"I don't want to play the painter anymore," Lu Xinyang answered firmly, without any guilt at all. "Isn't the bodyguard also the protagonist? I want to play the bodyguard."

He also emphasized: "The screenwriter and director both agreed. I think they really appreciate my performance! The other competitors are also impressed!"

Chang Xue asked, "Have you performed it?"

Lu Xinyang immediately changed his tone: "I think they are looking forward to my performance."

Chang Xue was silent for a while, feeling that her periarthritis of the shoulder seemed to be more serious.

But there was no way around it. Lu Xinyang had already acted first and reported to him later. It seemed meaningless to discuss the original arrangements and plans with him at this time.

Chang Xue, displaying the composure and professionalism expected of a top-tier agent, pulled out a thermos to moisten her lips while telling the driver to find a chance to turn around. "This is just the first time, and it won't happen again. If you dare to cause trouble for me again without saying anything, I'll... send you to film 'The Years I Slept Under a Bridge'."

Lu Xinyang looked as if he had heard everything: "Oh, okay, okay."

Fortunately, Chang Xue couldn't see his irritating face. She took a deep breath, took out her tablet from her bag, and opened the packaging plan she had just written for Lu Xinyang last night.

When she took on Lu Xinyang, she knew it was a big trouble and a brand new challenge in her career.

Generally speaking, the second generation of rich people who want to enter the entertainment industry for fun will manage themselves on social networking sites and various platforms, first accumulate a certain level of fans and popularity, and then make their debut by participating in film and television works.

But Lu Xinyang had jumped in impulsively, without any prior planning or preparation. If he had just parachuted in with the title of Lu Group's eldest son, it might have given many people a preconceived notion and limited his future development path.

Therefore, Chang Xue gave him a silly, sweet and down-to-earth route, which coincided with the character of Bai Qingheng in "The Color of Trapped".

However, she has been managing mature and well-known artists in recent years, and now she does not have any resources suitable for Lu Xinyang. Everything has to be planned from scratch, and what she is going to talk about today is a variety show focusing on the training of celebrity pets.

The participating stars choose the dogs they want to train by drawing lots and style them according to the owners' requirements. The program team will give different restrictions in each round. The celebrity stylists will then draw different themes and shoot a video with the dogs, which will be scored by the audience judges. Finally, the owners will be asked to score and guess which dog is theirs.

The dog guest for each episode of the program is of the same breed. After careful consideration, Chang Xue chose the episode with Beagle for Lu Xinyang... She was confident that with Beagle's "help", she could hype him up enough attention in a short period of time and gradually increase his popularity.

After "The Trapped Color" is broadcast, combined with the plot of "the nobleman's family falls into poverty and he sleeps in the slums with his expensive paintings", the character of this naive and innocent person will be firmly established.

As long as his family background is not over-publicized, it will not give people a sense of distance and he will look friendly and real, which will naturally make it easier to attract fans.

After joining the crew for filming, you can also continue to show your face through live broadcasts or other means to increase your exposure. When the summer drama "The Trapped Color" is broadcast, you can cooperate with the drama party to carry out a series of publicity operations. Although you may not become a top star overnight, it is completely no problem to promote a second or third-tier star.

Unfortunately, no matter how good the plan is, the male protagonist still needs to cooperate.

Chang Xue thought of the assistant who suddenly had diarrhea before going out, and the driver who was called temporarily and accidentally took the wrong road, causing them to be stuck here, and not knowing how long they would have to wait before they could move. He felt that perhaps all this was God's will, and it was destined that he, Young Master Lu, was not suitable for the script of being down-to-earth.

"In that case, then you should just play the role yourself," Chang Xue deleted the entire page of her schedule and tried to be brief. "Zhuoxing Media will hold its annual gala at the Yuntu Hotel in a few days. I'll have them temporarily add an IP launch session. We'll arrange for reporters to broadcast the interaction live, and have several other well-known actors who are going to film IP dramas this year take you with them for interviews. You should perform well then."

"No problem," Lu Xinyang said confidently, "I must be the most handsome male star in the audience!"

"You will be considered a male star only when everyone knows you. Now you are just a man." Chang Xue hung up the phone calmly and turned to contact the event director of Zhuoxing Media.

When Young Master Lu needed it, Zhuo Xing would naturally cooperate fully. Chang Xue not only asked them to add an IP to launch the promotion, but also arranged some other things.

However, in order to ensure the "performance of the show", she did not tell Lu Xinyang about her plan.

Every drama has the potential to flop, so does a remake of a well-known IP guarantee success? Chang Xue doesn't believe things are that simple. The entertainment industry is incredibly complex, and every necessary marketing strategy, including planning, promotion, and packaging, is essential.

Chang Xue thought for a moment and clicked on Tang Lin's chat box: "Who is the actor who plays opposite Lu Xinyang?"

After receiving the message, Tang Lin looked up at the reception room. The audition had just ended. Zhou Xiaoqing pushed open the door and walked out with three people behind him. He said to Lu Xinyang, "It's a good thing you haven't left yet. Let's get to know each other first."

"This is the actor who will be playing Bai Qingheng with you, Mr. Wen Zhuowen. He has a lot of acting experience. With him guiding you through the role on set, I'm sure your filming will go much more smoothly."

Zhou Xiaoqing's words were a bit blunt, and Wen Zhuo was slightly stunned, but Lu Xinyang was already smiling happily at him: "That's great! My name is Lu Xinyang. Although I haven't acted yet, I'm taking cram school and I have a promising future! If you have anything to teach me in the future, you should teach me more!"

"Thank you, Miss Zhou, and thank you, Teacher Wen," Tang Lin also came forward enthusiastically. "Although our Brother Lu is not a professional actor, he has been learning acting from the teachers for a while. We will also work hard to improve and ask for advice from all the teachers. I hope the teachers don't mind. I also wish us all a happy cooperation!"

"Yes! Yes!" Lu Xinyang nodded heavily, trying hard to express his positive attitude.

Ji Rongyu pondered the unfathomable stupidity on his face, and the string in his heart tightened and loosened. He turned his eyes to look at Wen Zhuo again. The more he looked, the more he felt... Teacher Wen was the best. His expression and tone were so steady that they made people feel particularly safe.

What a reliable old artist.

He thought with relief, and in comparison, he felt that Lu Xinyang's alertness was even more annoying.

"The roles are almost finalized, and the crew will make an official announcement on Weibo in a few days. It's up to you guys to decide whether you want to make some preparations now." Chen Feng looked at Wen Zhuo as he spoke. These words were mainly meant for him to hear. After all, Lu Xinyang had such a large team, and he didn't need to remind him unnecessarily.

"I understand, Brother Chen." Wen Zhuo nodded. Lu Xinyang didn't understand why, so he nodded blindly: "I understand."

After arranging the actors, Chen Feng and Zhou Xiaoqing went back to their meeting.

Ji Rongyu looked at the time. He still had time to buy groceries and cook if he rushed home. He had already done everything he needed to do, so he didn't bother to stay here any longer. "Then I'll excuse myself. I'm really looking forward to working with you two. See you on the set."

"See you on the set?" He hadn't even taken a step forward when Lu Xinyang pulled him back. "You've already joined the crew with us, and you still say you're not an actor?"

He said that since this person is so good-looking, he should stand in front of the camera like him and be seen by more people.

"I'm really not an actor, I'm a screenwriter on the crew." Having been categorized as someone who relies on his looks to make a living time and time again, Ji Rongyu didn't know whether he should be happy that his looks were recognized, or upset that his job was ignored.

But then again, since Lu Xinyang was going to play the role he wrote, it meant that he still recognized his work. Thinking of this, his favorability towards Lu Xinyang increased a little.

As for the screenwriter of the group, as the name suggests, you know what it is. Lu Xinyang's expression looks a little regretful: "Okay, I believe you. You really don't act. You just revise the script every day in the group."

Ji Rongyu: "...not every day!"

Who wants to rewrite the script every day? You don't mind memorizing the lines, but I find typing on the keyboard too tiring!

Only when the original filming plan cannot be realized will the screenwriter need to constantly revise the script to make way for the harsh reality. Any crew with a little bit of quality pursuit would not be happy to see this happen. Perhaps only someone as heartless as Lu Xinyang would say such a shameless thing.

The little bit of favorability that had just risen in Ji Rongyu's heart went straight back down to negative.

Lu Xinyang had large astigmatism and didn't notice the disgust on Ji Rongyu's face at all, but Tang Lin was very familiar with him, and as soon as he heard him speak, he knew that he was going to offend someone.

Afraid that Ji Rongyu would mistakenly think Lu Xinyang was dissatisfied with his script, he quickly said, "No, no, no, Teacher Rongyu's script is so well written, it's best not to change a single word! So, Teacher Rongyu, how are you going to get back? How about we take you back?"

"No, it's quite convenient for me to take a taxi back."

Ji Rongyu didn't want to stay with Lu Xinyang for even a second and politely declined. However, Lu Xinyang was not polite at all: "Isn't it good for you to live in my house? Why do you want to go back? I asked Xiao Tang to vacate the villa for you!"

Ji Rongyu thought to himself, "Well, the case has been solved. You vacated the villa, so it was your idea to bring the filming schedule forward and force us to work overtime together! Ji Rongyu couldn't help but glance at him, feeling that his hatred was concentrated."

But he still had to install it, so he said: "Living here all the time is too disturbing, and I have elderly people at home who need to be taken care of, so it's better to go back."

In fact, he mainly felt that he was very uncomfortable living in someone else's house, and the decoration of this villa looked very expensive. If he broke something, he would have to pay for it, which was not cost-effective.

"Well, be careful on the road," Lu Xinyang said with regret for about two seconds, then turned around and pushed Tang Lin's shoulders to run upstairs. He looked very excited from behind, "Hurry! I just saw my car in the garage! Find my car keys!"

"Huh? Which car's keys are you looking for?"

"The one my mom won't let me drive!"

The two ran off as if they were familiar with the route. Wen Zhuo looked at the empty social distance between him and Ji Rongyu and asked politely, "Where does Teacher Rong live?"

"I live near Baijiang Bridge." Ji Rongyu said.

"Oh," Wen Zhuo thought for a moment and said, "We live quite close to each other, so maybe we can have dinner together sometime."

"That's great. I couldn't ask for more." Ji Rongyu nodded, and the two exchanged contact information.

Just now in the reception room, Zhou Xiaoqing asked Wen Zhuo's agent to contact the producer of "Trapped in Color" in order to sign a contract and discuss subsequent matters. However, Wen Zhuo said that he did not have an agent or assistant at the moment, so if there was anything, just contact him directly.

When Ji Rongyu heard this, he felt something was wrong and searched the Internet for information about Wen Zhuo. Only then did he know that Wen Zhuo had been cheated by his own agent, who not only defrauded him of most of his savings but also threw a lot of dirty water on him.

Even though the negative information was later clarified, there were also reports that he had retired from the entertainment industry. Although there was no news about him secretly getting married and having children, some people happened to see him working in an ordinary small shop. It was said that his monthly salary was only a four-digit number that was barely enough to make ends meet.

The reason why his private life has not been exposed may be simply because he is too obscure and the paparazzi don’t take him seriously.

Now Wen Zhuo has returned to the entertainment industry to fight alone. Ji Rongyu doesn't know whether he is forced to do so to make a living or because he can't let go of acting, but no matter which one it is, it makes him sigh.

No matter which industry, there are always only a very few people who can stand at the top of the pyramid. Everyone wants to get better things, and the competition between them is always cruel.

Ji Rongyu frowned slightly as he thought about the novel documents that had been stuck in his computer for a long time.

He returned to the room where he had lived for a few days but which was still empty. The quilt on the bed was flat without a wrinkle, and he had hardly ever taken out his personal belongings. He just had to put the laptop on the table back into his suitcase and leave.

Zhou Xiaoqing and Chen Feng are not from Shangchuan City, but Ji Rongyu is. He lives here just to make it easier for him to work and he doesn't have to run back and forth. Now that the script has been finalized and the casting is over, he can naturally go home and rest first, and then join the crew after the filming officially begins.

In order to allow the drama to be broadcast during the summer vacation, the crew will officially start filming after New Year's Day, and there will be no holiday during the Spring Festival this year. It is expected to be completed in April, and then post-production will be carried out quickly and submitted for review and approval for release.

Although most of the filming locations of "Trapped in Color" are in Shangchuan City and surrounding towns, the crew is very busy and he certainly cannot always think about going home while working, so he plans to take advantage of the time now to spend more time with his grandfather and see if he can find a reliable nanny to come home and take care of the elderly.

Grandpa is old, and he is always worried about leaving him alone at home.
