"Begin. All teams, pay attention. Lighting team, machine team, blasting team. No, there is no blasting team. All teams and units, get ready!"

“…”

"Ayuan, I think the tension is a little off."

"Yes, that's fine. Make the movements more natural."

"Yes, yes! Okay, that's it, continue."

“…”

"Director Wei, I think I need to reshoot this scene."

"Reshoot? This is already the fourth time."

“I still can’t feel that flavor.”

"Okay..."

The sound of Fatty Wei shouting at the top of his lungs and the figure of Li Qing running around directing various groups to shoot from multiple angles could be heard all the time in the crew.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the camera and began to act out the scenes according to the script.

Of course, although everything was done according to plan, the progress was always slow, and it was even slower when filming the third act.

The script is dead, but people are alive. A sentence that is understated in the script requires attention to all details when actually performing.

Acting is actually a very strenuous job. It is not like what other people imagine, where you just pose in front of the camera, show your face, and pose, and that's it...

Lu Yuan has a deep understanding of this point. When he is really serious about filming, he no longer calls Wei Pangzi Fatty, but Director Wei.

When Fatty Wei heard the words "Director Wei" from Lu Yuan's mouth for the first time with a serious look on his face, Fatty Wei was frightened for a long time.

He was wondering if Lu Ergouzi had changed his personality or something...

The two words "Director Wei" are really not suitable to be shouted out by this bastard.

This guy is not a polite person!

Lu Yuan didn't care what Fatty Wei thought.

After filming several scenes, Lu Yuan found that his understanding of the role of "Wang Jiaming" seemed to have reached a higher level, as if he had tapped into something deeper.

Wang Jiaming is a man who has fallen completely, but there is always a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Lu Yuan felt that this character was growing all the time.

From smoking and taking drugs, to wandering around the city begging for food, being looked down upon by everyone, to gradually realizing that he couldn't go on like this after meeting that big yellow dog...

This is an amazing growth and transformation.

Of course, Lu Yuan was not satisfied with the growth process he portrayed.

He is not satisfied with his acting skills.

In fact, Lu Yuan himself is also growing.

At first, he was so poor that he wanted to defraud some investment and then just leave. But after seeing Fatty Wei and others putting all their effort into making a movie, he became less perfunctory. Then, when "The Wanderer" started, he was thinking of giving it a try and if it didn't work he would just replace them. But when he really accepted it, a string in his heart suddenly tightened. Although he had already planned to leave after the filming, at least he became extra serious during the filming.

Being extremely serious led to constant reshoots and constant delays...

Money just flows away like water.

Lu Yuan was heartbroken, but...

He did it anyway.

We have to be serious once in a while, right?

Besides, this should be the first movie in which I star, and also the last one.

If you take a good photo of yourself, you can brag about it in the future, right?

And I have a lot more money now than before...

In short, this is what Lu Yuan thought.

…

October 23rd.

The box office war in October is gradually coming to an end, and the box office gap is slowly starting to widen.

The headlines of major entertainment circles are filled with various scandals and box office reports about the male and female protagonists in major movies.

Lu Yuan has been silent in the entertainment section for a while. If you don't search for Lu Yuan on purpose on the Internet, you won't find the name Lu Yuan at all. Of course, you do occasionally see dog-head singers and tiger-head singers, but they pop up and then disappear again, without causing any waves.

Domestic veteran entertainment companies such as Tianyu and Huajin are not there to sit back and do nothing. After all, they have many resources and publicity channels. In this information age where traffic is king, whoever can truly control the headlines will be qualified to compete for the box office champion in October.

Everything needs publicity.

Movies naturally need it too.

Although September was a great box office success, the true box office champion’s value and total box office revenue were not as high as those in October.

Everyone in the industry is keeping their eyes on the box office battle in October.

Box office data is being refreshed every day.

On the 23rd, "Wolf Walk", a film by the well-known domestic veteran action director Zhang Jin, had already broken the 400 million box office in the early morning, and was averaging about 20 million box office per day. Judging from the growth rate, this film will definitely break the record and reach the astonishing figure of 600 million, and it is very likely to be the box office champion this year.

As for the second-ranked movie "The Walker Wu Jiang" and "Wolf Walk", the box office gap between them is 100 million!

One hundred million!

This is an insurmountable gap!

If September is Zhang Tong's month in the film industry, then October is Zhang Jin's month.

Of course, although Zhang Jin's box office champion was already a trend, other directors were unwilling to lose like this. In order to gain more exposure and box office, they immediately used all their tricks and countless revelations were flying around...

Today it's suspected that this director's son is taking drugs, tomorrow it's suspected that that director's son is soliciting prostitution, this morning the male lead was all over the place with scandals, this afternoon he held a press conference to clarify, this morning the male and female leads cheated on each other, this afternoon they reconciled and were cleared of their cuckoldry...

This is a game between companies. Fake news is everywhere. All kinds of hype are just to make the box office look better in October and make more money...

At first, netizens thought that this kind of messy hype was quite eye-catching, but after seeing it too much and understanding the tricks of these people, netizens gradually began to feel disgusted, and even didn’t want to click on the news when they saw it about a certain star cheating.

It makes them feel sick.

October 25th was a very ordinary day.

But the headlines slowly began to change.

The messy and disgusting hype on major Weibo accounts was slowly suppressed by another piece of news.

Lu Yuan, who had left not long ago, gradually became a hot search on Weibo. From the early morning, the popularity began to rise at an alarming rate...

By noon, the news on major Weibo posts, Tieba headlines, video sites and entertainment sections were gradually dominated by the headline "Lu Yuan no longer plays the piano."

And all this originated from a blog post by Edward.

On Weibo.

Zheng Jianguo, the principal of Yanying School: "Lu Yuan, what happened to you? No matter what happens to you, I hope you can be strong... No matter what, please don't give up your ideals!"

Well-known music lover Xu Tong: "I don't understand what happened to Director Lu, but please don't use the word 'running out of ideas' to describe yourself. Even if you feel you have no more inspiration, please don't say such a despairing thing. Thank you!"

Internet celebrity Zhao Qing: "Lu Ergouzi, I have always liked you and thought you were very real. Really! However, now that we are all Chinese, I think you shouldn't say anything so casually. Maybe you are joking, maybe you are just being arrogant, but please don't make such jokes casually. It makes people feel disgusted."

Famous singer: "Lu Yuan, are you crazy? What are you doing! Do you know what you are saying? You lunatic!"

Netizen: "What? What did you say? Lu Ergouzi said that he has run out of ideas? Is that true? Holy shit... are you... are you kidding me?"

“…”

At first, it was just a simple blog post by Edward. Even if Edward was famous internationally, it would not have caused much of a stir. However, as Internet celebrities and some celebrities in the entertainment industry reposted and posted it on Weibo, Tieba, and major portals with their own opinions, and after a series of fermentation, Lu Yuan News' name appeared on the list...

Not long after that, the fact that Lu Yuan rejected Principal Yan Ying's invitation was also exposed, and together with the fact that he would never play the piano again, it produced a chain reaction.

Netizens started their comments...

Some netizens felt sorry for Lu Yuan, some scolded him for being arrogant, some thought Lu Yuan shouldn't talk nonsense, some thought Lu Yuan didn't know how to behave, and some comforted him...

In short, countless comments have put the words "Lu Yuan" and "Jiang Lang's talent has run out" on the headlines...

The major entertainment companies were so angry when they saw that the headlines they had worked so hard to build were taken down in just one day!

They regard this bastard Lu Yuan as a thorn in their side, and he always comes out to cause trouble at critical moments!

He even threatened that no matter what happened in the future, he would never cooperate with Lu Yuan.

As for the directors, they were speechless.

what you do?

You don’t have any movies released in October, and you’re not competing for the box office, so why are you trying to grab the headlines?

Aren't you disgusting?...

…

"Damn it, what the hell are you doing, Lu Ergou!"

"You are really screwing me."

Of course, there are also those who get so angry after staring at the headlines.

He is very angry!

This person is Zhou Shuai!

I haven't recovered from the slap in the face after being tricked by Lu Yuan, and now Lu Yuan is on the headlines again.

Zhou Shuai seemed to see Lu Yuan's smiling face, which looked very hypocritical!

Zhou Shuai got even angrier!

He felt that Lu Yuan was provoking him and trying to touch his vital point!

"Fuck it, even if you're teasing me, I won't cooperate with you. I'll keep my word, damn!"

"Interview? Do I need your interview? Will I, Zhou Shuai, be unable to survive without your interview?"

"Who do you think you are, Lu Yuan!"

"Grass!"

After cursing at the air for a while, Zhou Shuai shook his head.

Forget it.

Why should I bother with this idiot?

I am a generous man!

And a real man can bend and stretch...

Why……

He pulled out a familiar number and dialed it.

Unfortunately, the phone is turned off.

Then he called another number...

"Hello, Director Wei, it's me..."

"I am Zhou Shuai..."

“Yes, yes…”

"No, no, I apologize for my previous recklessness with Ayuan. Yes, I apologize. I think I was too impulsive. Is Ayuan in Hengdian now? I want to treat him to a meal and talk about cooperation... Yes, talk about cooperation."

"What? Just left? Where did you go?"

"secret?"

"????"

…

Lu Yuan was naturally not in Hengdian.

He asked Fatty Wei for a day and a half off and boarded a plane to Xiangnan in the early morning of the 24th.

The second episode of "Crossover Masked Singer" is about to begin.

He went to Shonan to pan for gold with a very sincere and serious belief...

wrong!

It was a good game.

Play the game with a serious attitude!

Naturally, it was Liu Shuyao who picked up Lu Yuan, but the first time she saw Lu Yuan, Liu Shuyao showed a strange smile.

"Director Lu, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you starting over again?"

"????"

"Director Lu, you really are good at pretending. Your name has been everywhere in the entertainment industry headlines these past two days..."

“…”

Lu Yuan didn't understand what Liu Shuyao meant by her teasing expression for a moment, but when he opened the headlines entertainment, he understood.

I understand but I am also confused.

Am I on the headlines?

This made the headlines?

"Director Lu, what song are you going to prepare for this competition? I'll talk to the program team and make arrangements as soon as possible..." After getting in the car, Liu Shuyao sat next to Lu Yuan and began to ask about Lu Yuan's preparations for this trip.

She was very concerned about Lu Yuan's song selection.

“Original.”

"Ah? Continue original? Or original?"

"right."

"What's the name?"

"Is it better to have a more explosive song or a more gentle one?"

"What? Director Lu, you can still choose? How many original songs did you write?"

"Not many, just two..."

"Director Lu, are you sure you're not kidding or pretending?"

"Do I look like a joker? I've always been sincere to people..."

"Well, if it's for a show effect, then it's better to be more exciting."

"Oh, then let's sing 'Love Until Death'."

"What? 'Love Until Death'?"

Liu Shuyao looked at the confident expression on Lu Yuan's face and felt a little panicked for a moment.

The name...

Seems like a blast?
