The next day, when Wang Long arrived at the company, Lu Yuan handed him a piece of paper.

There was a song written on the paper, including the melody and score.

After listening to this song, the naive Wang Long was stunned for a moment.

My nose feels sore.

Then he apologized to Lu Yuan and ran to the bathroom, facing the mirror and looking at himself with red eyes.

Memories of the past...

Wang Long has a past that he cannot bear to look back on.

He is not a professional trainee. Not only that, he dropped out of school and went out to work before he even graduated from junior high school.

It's not that he doesn't like studying or is naughty, it's because he is poor.

He is the eldest in the family. In order for his younger brothers and sisters to go to school smoothly, he dragged his frail body to help at the construction site.

That year, he was only fifteen years old.

However, in order to get them to recruit him, he lied about his age and said that he was already seventeen years old and would be eighteen soon!

Otherwise, people on the construction site would not dare to employ child labor.

Working on the construction site was very hard, with countless heavy and tiring work to be done. In order to earn more money, Wang Long would even carry bags of cement to the third floor on his frail body at night. He would get up early every morning to work as a helper in the canteen in exchange for a meal.

Washing dishes, washing vegetables, cooking...

He will do anything he can.

Every night he would collapse.

Every day before going to bed, he would look up at the stars in the sky, for no reason, he just looked at them.

He just wants to make money!

He was a strong-willed man. He couldn't bear to see his younger brothers and sisters without new clothes to wear or lucky money during the Chinese New Year. He couldn't bear to see his disabled father still going out to work every day, working day and night to earn that little money...

The construction site is actually very boring, and there are no entertainment activities. All Wang Long faces every day are cement and sand, as well as the mocking faces of his co-workers.

However, for Wang Long at that time, the happiest time of the day was the half hour for lunch.

He carried a bowl of white rice with not much meat on it, squatted on the bluestone slab next to the old security guard, and ate while listening to the radio.

There are many contents in the radio, including broadcasts, news, jokes, and songs...

Then he knew there was such a thing as guitar in this world...

Then he was eager to have his own guitar.

However, he really couldn't afford an ordinary guitar that cost a few hundred dollars.

He had to save money, slowly, and work harder...

He will do any job that pays, no matter how dangerous it is.

Time passes slowly.

When he turned eighteen, he took his few hundred dollars and bought his first guitar in front of everyone's puzzled eyes.

He laughed for a long time and cried for a long time at the same time.

I hid in the corner like a fool and thought I was the happiest person in the world...

Then, he bravely went home and told his parents that he wanted to be a singer in the future.

His parents didn't understand and even thought he was crazy.

Wouldn't it be better to be a good construction worker and then become a contractor when you have experience?

Be a singer?

You're almost broke and you still want to be a singer?

His parents repeatedly pointed at his nose and scolded him, saying that he had no talent, that he had wild dreams, and that he was destined to be a worker and not to dream of becoming a star...

He lowered his head silently, not daring to say a word to his parents, but picked up his bag and went back to the construction site to work.

He still sends money home every month to support his younger siblings' education and living expenses, and of course, he takes time to practice guitar every day.

At that time, he didn't understand what a dream was...

All he knew was that he wanted to play guitar and sing.

He worked hard to make money and persisted in his determination...

When his younger brothers and sisters successfully graduated from college, he suddenly felt relieved.

He cried for a long time again.

It’s different now!

Yes, it's different!

After suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he took a deep breath and carefully put the paper into his pocket.

The name of this song is "Long Live Youth".

Then he walked out of the bathroom with a familiar silly smile and continued to make breakfast for Lu Yuan.

It's as if nothing happened.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes after looking at his back, and then thought of another song.

After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and continued to hold the pen.

The breakfast was very delicious, and it was obvious that Wang Long’s cooking skills were really good.

Lu Yuan still felt sorry for Wang Long.

"I believe that if you work hard as a chef, you will have a bright future. If you insist on opening a restaurant, I believe you won't be like this now..." Lu Yuan looked up.

"Haha, Mr. Lu... I... there aren't so many ifs in life." Wang Long scratched his head, but didn't know what to say.

"I'll give you another song, but you have to sing it well!"

"ah?"

"Take a look."

"Oh... this... Lu... Lu... Mr. Lu, you... I... this..." Wang Long took over the song, then froze, his hands trembling, and finally he couldn't hold back any more tears...

The song is called "Sailor".

His sailors...

…

The word "Lu Yuan", which had been suppressed on the Internet, suddenly became popular again.

Not only that, but the popularity of the singer "狗头" and "Lu Yuan" and "Lu Manzi" is getting higher and higher day by day.

The popularity of the Dog-Head singer is quite normal. After all, the song "Love Until Death" has exploded in popularity on the Internet. Countless people are discussing this song and who the mysterious Dog-Head singer with multiple identities is.

That in itself is heat.

But what about Lu Yuan?

Lu Yuan can be said to have touched upon the edge of the issue.

Who is this director, artist, actor, and person under 30 years old who can come up with two original songs?

And who is this person?

Everything about this was unbelievable to netizens, as if they couldn't find this person even after searching the entire entertainment industry.

In the end, they could only turn their eyes to Lu Yuan in Hengdian.

Then countless reporters flocked to Hengdian to watch Lu Yuan shooting a new movie every day.

Although the security guards stopped them outside the crew, they could still see Lu Yuan's shadow to some extent.

Lu Yuan was filming a movie as rumored online, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with the show "Crossover Masked Singer".

When reporters posted the news online, netizens were confused for a while as to whether it was true or not.

There is uncertainty in everything.

However, Lu Yuan's popularity has risen...

The online reward also increased from 500,000 to 700,000.

As long as they can produce evidence, the seven hundred thousand will be theirs!

…

The weather gradually turned cooler at the end of October.

There is no change in the crew and filming is still ongoing.

Lu Yuan had found some feeling for the characters and it was going much more smoothly than in previous shoots. Although the progress was still slow and bumpy, at least every shot looked very satisfying.

Fatty Wei has a high opinion of this movie. He hopes that it can be a big hit at the box office like "Buried", allowing him to join the ranks of famous directors in China to increase his presence and, by the way, slap the face of the old man in his family.

This is definitely a very exciting thing for Fatty Wei!

The future is bright for him and he is so excited.

Li Qing and others are similar to Fatty Wei, all of them are full of fighting spirit.

As for what you said about Wang Long?

Not only does Wang Long smile like a fool every day, but he even almost kneels down and calls Lu Yuan "uncle" when he sees him.

She cooked for Lu Yuan on time every day, and when she had free time, she would be busy doing all the dirty and tiring work in the crew. At night, she would hide in the rental house to practice singing and playing guitar, and occasionally go to the bar to sing a few songs to make some money...

Although it is very busy, it is very fulfilling.

Perhaps the most tragic person in the entire crew is Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was very worried.

Worrying about money.

He needs money, and two or three hundred thousand is not enough.

The movie "Vagabond" is a bit expensive. If it continues at this pace, I may have to pay more. If the investment is 5 million, it may go up to 7 million...

Lu Yuan had listened to the two songs he had given to Wang Long.

Very flavorful.

Based on Lu Yuan's feeling, he felt that if this album was officially released, it would not be a loss, and he might even make some money.

Lu Yuan trusts his intuition very much.

So the question is, if Wang Long wants to release an album, he will need another 100,000 yuan, and he will also have to find a company to cooperate with him to promote it. Even 500,000 yuan may not be enough...

The money from "Wanderer", the money from the album, and the money from opening a restaurant after returning to my hometown in a few months...

After all, my father has already found an address, and it would be unreasonable to give up.

These scattered sums of money combined...

Lu Yuan felt like he was having a headache.

Every night before he went to sleep, he thought about how to make money and how to find ways to make money...

You mean selling songs like everyone else?

Stop joking. All the songs in Lu Yuan's mind are good stuff. If one song is sold, there will be one less song. He must maximize the profit. Otherwise, he feels that he is not doing himself justice.

You mean borrowing money?

Ask Wang Jinxue?

Lu Yuan didn't even think about it.

Although he is shameless sometimes, even the most shameless person still has self-respect in his heart.

He felt that asking girls for money was a bit like being a gigolo.

He didn't like this feeling.

Raise money from others?

no!

Lu Yuan didn't know why he felt a little resistant.

So Lu Yuan felt that he was at the end of his rope.

If, it really doesn't work, then how about I just give up my self-esteem?

Lu Yuan lowered his head and took out his cell phone.

Just at this moment, a piece of news popped up on the phone.

He clicked it subconsciously.

Then, he saw the advertisement for his own reward of 700,000 yuan on the Internet.

At this moment, his eyes widened!

I just felt my head explode with a "boom"!

There are many ** in life.

People have to endure hardships in order to grow.

However, Lu Yuan never thought that he was someone who could handle the **.

So he took a long breath and closed his eyes again.

I sold myself out, so that shouldn't be considered as having no moral integrity, right?

Is it okay for me to blow myself up?

When he was about to reveal the secret to the rich second-generation on Weibo, he suddenly hesitated.

No, it's very ungentlemanly of me to do that.

I can't just reveal myself, it would feel weird.

After another long silence, Lu Yuan took out his cell phone.

"Hello!"

"Are you there?"

"You're talking nonsense, aren't you? Of course I'm here, what do you want to do!"

"Let's make a deal!"

"What! You want to cheat me out of money again? I'm telling you, you will never cheat me out of a penny in my life!"

"Haha, don't say that. How can it sound so bad to say 'cheat'? It's just a transaction. And am I the kind of person who cheats for money? Do you know that? In my heart, I always treat you as a buddy, and the best buddy..."

"Get away! If you have to fart, do it now. Don't hold it in. I want to vomit if you talk like that." I felt a chill on the other end of the phone.

"Please expose me."

"What?"

“…”

When Zhou Shuai hung up the phone, his eyes widened.

Suddenly, I looked at the reward on the Internet with mixed feelings...
