Chapter 80 Earn some pocket money
After the recording of the first episode was completed, we took a two-day break and started recording the second episode. The second episode mainly talks about ethnic dance. This time, the five of them will present Uyghur dance to everyone. During the recording, it was not known whether it was for the special effects of the show or whether Jin Qianer and Wu Xia really had some disputes, but the two broke out in an argument while practicing. The recording of the show was temporarily suspended. Under the persuasion of the director, the two quickly returned to continue practicing dance. In front of the camera, it seemed as if the argument just now did not exist at all.
"Is this how an actor's acting skills are used? It would be great if this acting skill was put into a movie!" Lu Yuqi didn't know whether Ning Ning was talking to herself or to him. However, Lu Yuqi adhered to the principle of less trouble is worse than more trouble and did not respond.
Maybe Ning Ning was really talking to herself, so she changed the subject: "Yuqi, can you help me take a look? I always feel like my movements are a little off, am I not doing them well enough?"
After saying that, Ningning repeated the action again.
"Your movements are a bit too straight, why don't you try to be softer?" Lu Yuqi also did it next to him.
"Like this?" Ningning tried to soften her body.
"Much better than before."
"Then I'll practice."
Not long after the recording of the second episode ended, the first episode was broadcast. The first episode is divided into two parts, updated every Saturday night at 20:00. Members can watch the second episode in advance on Sundays.
After watching the second episode, everyone started discussing more about Lu Yuqi and Mi Yuanyuan's dance. At this time, Mi Yuanyuan had already represented the academy in a dance competition.
[I didn’t expect the ending of this dance at all! 】
[Who died in the end was a man or a woman?] 】
[Is one person missing another person?] 】
[I thought it was a love story, but it turned out to be a horror story! 】
This choreography has something interesting! 】
[Yuqi dances so well!] As expected, she is the main dancer of S7 boy group! 】
[Group dance is different from this! 】
[I have to say, these two are really amazing! 】
[I always feel that Yuqi’s last smile is a little scary when you think about it carefully! 】
The first half of this dance by Lu Yuqi and Mi Yuanyuan showed that they were a loving couple, very sweet. But then the music took a sharp turn and the two people seemed to be in two different times and spaces, or one was always looking at the other, especially the smile on Lu Yuqi's face at the end, as if he was in control of everything.
The number of views of this dance on the Internet increased, and Liu Jiahe also received a script.
"Villain?"
"Well, the script looks quite interesting. Do you want to take a look at it?"
"Okay." Lu Yuqi took the script and found that the screenwriter was written on it: Hou Sinian, an acquaintance. Liu Jiahe noticed that Lu Yuqi did not read the script immediately, but looked at the screenwriter's name first.
“The screenwriter is very young and the script is very good.”
"Yes, I know he is very talented."
"From the tone of your voice, do you know each other?"
"Yes, he was the screenwriter of the Licheng Fengyun I filmed before. By the way, Brother Liu, is Fang Zheng the director of this drama?"
"No, it's Zhu Geng. He is considered a new director. His previous films have received good reviews. You can take a look."
Lu Yuqi was not very familiar with this director, but he searched for his movies online and found that they received many positive reviews and had good ratings.
"Do you like making suspense movies?" Lu Yuqi found that Zhu Geng's movies were all classified as suspense movies.
“Yeah, this one too.”
"I haven't acted in a suspense film yet, so am I the big boss behind the scenes?"
"It's quite unexpected. You can take a look at the script first. I think the director probably chose you because he saw your dance with Mi Yuanyuan."
It was just as Liu Jiahe said, Zhu Geng interviewed several actors and felt that they were all not up to standard. He hoped that the male actor had good dancing skills, so many people did not meet the requirements. He also wanted him to have a crazy feeling in the end. The few people Zhu Geng interviewed did not give him a crazy feeling, and only left him with the impression of a madman.
Zhu Geng discovered that Lu Yuqi had seen it by chance while surfing the Internet out of boredom. Zhu Geng went to watch it out of curiosity after seeing someone comment on Lu Yuqi and Mi Yuanyuan's dance, saying it was terrifying when one thinks about it carefully. This dance indeed left a deep impression on Zhu Geng, especially the smile at the end of the dance! It made Zhu Geng's hair stand on end! He knew that he had found the male protagonist of his dreams!
Zhu Geng initially thought that Lu Yuqi was a dancer, and thought that it didn’t matter if he couldn’t act by then, he could hone his skills slowly, and as long as he wasn’t a useless person, he would definitely be able to do it. Later I found out that this dance was a clip from a variety show, and finally I found out that Lu Yuqi was actually an actor! This gave Zhu Geng a great surprise!
The script is excellent, the director is also good, and the role is also one that Lu Yuqi has never played before. There is no reason for Lu Yuqi not to accept it!
"Variety show?"
"The variety show will record five episodes in total, and it should be finished before the filming of the movie starts."
"Um."
"What? The variety show is boring?"
“It’s just very tiring.”
In the Dance 1+1 program, apart from the dance of Lu Yuqi and Mi Yuanyuan that went viral in the first episode, there wasn't much waves in the second episode. There was only the quarrel between Jin Qianer and Wu Xia, and some small-scale conflicts among fans.
The third issue wasn’t very popular either. The guests on the show were not as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning, and the entire show ended hastily after only four episodes.
This is good news for Lu Yuqi, as everyone in the show is tired of getting along with each other. The show ended and Zhu Geng was preparing to start filming. I wonder if Zhu Geng had also heard the news that Lu Yuqi brought good luck to the crew, so he decided that Lu Yuqi must be the first to light the incense stick.
"Director, shouldn't you do this?" Lu Yuqi really couldn't understand why the young director was so superstitious.
"No, no, no, you come! You are the male lead! It's okay!" Lu Yuqi couldn't persuade Zhu Geng who insisted, so he had to light the first incense stick.
"Director, my previous variety show didn't make a lot of waves, you know that?"
Lu Yuqi looked at Zhu Geng's confused expression and laughed secretly inwardly, it seemed that Zhu Geng didn't know!
"Oh, isn't that a variety show? We are a film crew, it's different!" Zhu Geng found an excuse to comfort himself psychologically, and then continued to do what he was doing.
Did Shang Yi invest in this drama this time? He originally wanted to invest, but Lu Yuqi accidentally overheard his phone call with Assistant Qi, and faced Lu Yuqi's inquiries or questions! Shang Yi replied: I just want to earn some pocket money! Who made me earn a lot of money from the dramas you starred in?
Moreover, Shang Yi and Lu Yuqi guaranteed that he would only invest in the dramas in which Lu Yuqi participated after Lu Yuqi had signed a contract. Isn’t it about the drama invested by Shang Yi, asking Lu Yuqi to star in it? These are two different meanings!
Faced with Shang Yi's repeated assurances, Lu Yuqi believed what Shang Yi said. Zhu Geng had no shortage of investors for this drama, so Shang Yi did not say that he must invest.
