“Is ‘The King of Masked Singer’ still a one-man show?”

"After the celebration banquet, Xia Mu and his agent left the scene at the same time, looking a little lonely."

"Xia Mu: Lu Yuan is a strong opponent. I hope we can compete together again next time!"

"Will Lu Yuan develop into a singer in the future?"

"This is an advertising man who will do anything to achieve his goal! A singer who dreams of becoming an advertiser..."

"Famous singer Zhou Shang: The agent has contacted Lu Yuan and is looking forward to cooperating with him..."

"Director Li Qi and Lu Yuan met on the balcony. Lu Yuan is suspected to join Director Li Qi's new play "Youth"?"

“…”

“…”

Overnight, countless news headlines about Lu Yuan and "The King of Masked Singer" appeared on the headlines and hot searches of major newspapers.

Countless latest news about Lu Yuan and the show brainwashed netizens. At the same time, all kinds of Lu Yuan's updates were flooding the computers, mobile phones, and even the entertainment sections on TV.

Some industry insiders have also reviewed October and November online...

Later they discovered that most of the explosive news in the entertainment industry in October or November seemed to come from Lu Yuan.

I have to say that Lu Yuan was brilliant in November!

It can even be said that November belongs to Lu Yuan!

That night, Lu Yuan once again made the top executives of the Chinese entertainment industry grit their teeth in hatred, and they wanted to send people to kidnap this bastard Lu Yuan!

Even some senior executives think that this guy is a cancer in the industry.

Headline headlines...

Could you please just shut up for a second?

At the same time, among countless singers, the director focused on Lu Yuan and tried every means to get close to him.

They saw the strong traffic potential of Lu Yuan, and they hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with Lu Yuan, or even take advantage of his popularity.

This is a world where traffic is paramount!

…

"I may know why there is such a big gap between Xia Mu and Lu Yuan."

“Why is it so big?”

"The first is the issue of talent. Every song Lu Yuan sings is original and beautiful. The audience is not deaf or blind, so they naturally like to listen to it. The second is that Lu Yuan has been on the headlines every day recently. Although he has been scolded a lot, he also has a lot of fans and naturally a lot of people supporting him. The third point is the most critical point, and of course the most ridiculous point..."

"What's the third one?"

"The piano circle, the director circle, the music circle, the poetry circle, the film circle, and even the art circle... Look at how many circles Lu Yuan has been in during this period? Even if each circle doesn't have many fans, but when you add them all together... can Xia Mu compare to him? And Xia Mu disappeared for two years... In this circle, not showing up for two years is actually very fatal."

"However, I suddenly felt that Lu Yuan was very shameless. He actually advertised during the finals, and this move was really too shameless!"

"Yeah... this is simply... speechless. Lu Yuan, can't you be more serious? What do we need from you for this little bit of advertising?"

“We’re not bad!”

“Really!”

"yes."

After the end of "Masked Crossover Singer", all netizens' first feeling when looking at the astonishing vote gap was actually unbelievable.

But the disbelief didn't last long before it turned into sudden enlightenment and relief.

This ending was completely unexpected but reasonable for them...

Lu Yuan is still the same Lu Yuan.

Of course, compared to Lu Yuan, Xia Mu's ending is much more tragic, just like the second male lead in a TV series.

Both reporters and netizens regarded Xia Mu as a supporting role for Lu Yuan.

This feeling is very strange, just like seeing a stepping stone.

In this regard, netizens felt confused but also very sympathetic.

After being silent for a few years, he participated in the program "Crossover Masked Singer" to prepare for a high-profile comeback. The initial publicity was also very good, and he was full of mystery. On stage, he was more handsome than Lu Yuan, he danced better than Lu Yuan, and his techniques were natural, as if everything was done perfectly, everything was the same as when he was at his peak.

In the eyes of netizens, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the champion of this year's "King of Crossover Masked Singer".

Unfortunately, he was unlucky enough to meet Lu Yuan.

I met this Lu Er Gouzi who had nothing to do every other day and always made headlines for his tricks. Not only was I speechless when I was pinned to the ground and beaten, but I also had an extremely embarrassing scene...

Isn't this unlucky?

…

At ten o'clock the next day, when Lu Yuan woke up in a daze, he felt a little confused.

The hotel was not only a mess, but also reeked of alcohol.

After returning to the hotel yesterday, he seemed to have vomited a lot.

Really vomited?

Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the ground and found that it was covered with his vomit.

He felt sick!

Drink less alcohol in the future.

wrong!

I will definitely not drink alcohol and I will definitely not attend any celebration party. This is too uncomfortable. This kind of celebration party is not as comfortable as eating some barbecue at Lao Wang’s stall.

After Lu Yuan sat up from his bed, he thought for a long time and then sighed softly.

After making an insignificant decision that he didn't even know if it could be realized, Lu Yuan got up from the bed and put on his shoes. Then he looked at the script contract in front of the TV.

He subconsciously lowered his head and saw the words "Youth" written on the script.

"Youth"?

He was a little dazed, as if he had lost consciousness for some unknown reason.

What is this?

Li Qi?

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he flipped through the contract. When he saw the words "Lu Yuan" on it, he was stunned...

Well, I think I did sign it...

Forget it, just sign it. At least the script is not bad. It will just be a little more tiring at most.

At this time, he remembered what happened last night...

At first, Lu Yuan refused. Yes, Lu Yuan had never thought of accepting such a film as "Youth" which sounded like a brainless idol drama. No matter how much Li Qi said, no matter how inspiring he was, Lu Yuan would not accept it...

The first reason is that I have no interest in it. The second is that I have so many things to do right now that I really can’t spare the time to make a movie.

But……

This bastard Li Qi is definitely not an ordinary person!

This guy is still something!

"Ayuan, I have a dream. I have paid so much for this movie..."

"Since I was little, I have had a dream of becoming a director. I have been frugal and wanted to become a great director, but unfortunately my family did not agree..."

“…”

"Actually, I really want to make every movie well. I dream of winning the Best Director award, you know? And the Best Director award requires many factors... The most critical one is the actors..."

"A Yuan, I am actually your fan. I particularly like your song "Old Boy". Really, I like it very much because I think this song is a true reflection of me..."

"It's really not easy for me..."

"These past few years... I've had a hard time."

“…”

The night is very lonely.

The moon is very bright.

The evening breeze was bleak and a little chilly, blowing Li Qi's hair. At the same time, Li Qi's eyes were red, as if mixed with a trace of tears and helplessness. Of course, his expression was more complicated, and it was a portrayal of unwillingness to sink.

Yes!

Lu Yuan seemed to see the shadow of his past in Li Qi.

"So, Ayuan, can you support me and help me..." Li Qi was very affectionate, and then choked up.

"I...Okay, I'll do my best to help you..."

"I have specially prepared a contract for you. Don't worry about the salary. It's the same as that of a first-tier star, and..."

"Don't worry, let me take a look at the script first. I won't take any movie. If the script is not good, I won't take it..."

“Okay, here’s the script!”

Although Lu Yuan was very moved by what Li Qi said, he still remained rational and took the script from Li Qi and read it for more than half an hour.

"Okay, where should I sign?" After reading it, Lu Yuan closed his eyes.

Can shoot!

He thought it was a good script.

If you have money, there is no problem in investing in the script.

"here."

"good."

Lu Yuan's signature was smooth and flowing. Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol. Lu Yuan suddenly felt that Li Qi was a very pragmatic and ambitious director.

He felt that this guy was very sincere.

Well, we do need to support it.

Morning, inside the hotel.

"I am really speechless!"

When Lu Yuan fully recalled what happened yesterday, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Am I so supportive?

Why are you so soft-hearted?

I didn’t really want to be an actor!

After he subconsciously searched for Li Qi's information, the urge to slap himself became stronger.

Li Qi is a new Chinese art film director and grandson of Li Guojiang, a well-known second-generation Chinese director...

The famous third generation...

Very difficult? Very oppressed, unable to realize dreams since childhood, always failing, selling everything to make a movie?

You’re just pretending!

Pack!

Keep pretending!

This acting is really amazing...

I really believed it...

Your acting is so good, wouldn’t it be better for you to play the leading role yourself?

…

This is a sad story for Lu Yuan.

But it was a very happy thing for Li Qi.

He had originally just been trying out the idea and wanted to chat as usual, but he didn't expect that Lu Yuan would actually be invited over!

Inexplicably, he felt a sense of honor for his success.

Now all the main actors are here, and everything is ready. We’re just waiting for the filming to start.

This undoubtedly made Li Qi very happy.

"Director Li, there is something I want to tell you..."

"What's up?"

"Well, Chase Group has withdrawn its investment."

"Withdraw investment? Withdraw what investment?"

"The company felt that our art film had little profit, so they withdrew their investment..."

“So how much investment do we have now?”

"About twelve million."

"Twelve million is enough. Ayuan can make a whole movie with one million. Twelve million is definitely enough."

"Yeah, okay!"

“That’s right!”

"What?"

"You must not let Ayuan know that Chase Group is withdrawing its investment. Do you understand? The investment terms in the contract are clearly written."

"Don't worry, I understand. By the way, what about Lu Yuan's salary..."

"Payment... I'll find a way. Anyway, you have to keep it a secret, understand? I'll find someone to talk to Chase first and ask them not to withdraw their investment... If they don't withdraw their investment, there will be no problem with the pay."

“What if they insist on withdrawing their investment?”

"If they must withdraw their investment, I will ask them to keep it secret for the time being. At least the movie must be kept secret before it is released!"

"Ohhh, I see."

"But, Director Li, what if, what if Lu Yuan knows the news?"

"I'll go talk to Ayuan in person... I hope this is just a chance. At worst, I can pay for his film salary myself..." Li Qi closed his eyes.
