"Ayuan, are you okay?"
"It's okay, Director Zhang."
"Oh, okay, don't take some things to heart."
"Yeah, I understand. I'm not that kind of person."
"good."
“…”
Lu Yuan hung up the call with Zhang Tong, and just as he hung up the phone, it rang again.
"Xiao Lu, are you okay?"
"fine."
"Next time, don't mess around on Weibo, and be careful when advertising."
"Yes, I know."
"But don't worry, your case is different from Sun Peng's. Sun Peng was dealt with directly by the relevant departments, but yours was handled by Weibo officials. I asked for you, and the officials just gave you a casual warning, which has no substantial impact on you."
"I understand. Thank you, Principal Zheng, for your concern..."
"Well, that's good, keep calm."
"Um……"
After Lu Yuan hung up the call with Zheng Guolong, his cell phone rang again.
Lu Yuan answered the phone in despair.
"Ayuan..."
“…”
…
Lu Yuan spent the entire morning answering the phone.
His cell phone never stopped ringing.
These calls made Lu Yuan's ears tinnitus and he felt dizzy all of a sudden.
Well, it tastes pretty bad.
Lu Yuan was speechless.
Why do you all call me one by one to comfort me? Do I look like such a fragile person?
Isn't it just that my Weibo account was blocked? If my Weibo account was blocked, I would think of it as one less advertising channel. Does it have a big impact on me? And Weibo was only blocked for a week. Some games are often blocked for ten or eight years. Isn't this comparable?
Originally Lu Yuan was indeed a little depressed, but when almost everyone who called him used Sun Peng as a comparison example, Lu Yuan found that he was not depressed at all and even began to sympathize with Sun Peng, the unlucky guy.
Who am I? My Weibo account was just blocked for a week.
This screenwriter Sun is much more miserable than me.
They were directly blocked by the relevant departments...
Why am I depressed?
Eat when you should, drink when you should, it’s no big deal, right?
Besides, the tens of millions of dollars in my bank card are no joke. Will blocking Weibo affect the money in my bank card?
It doesn't affect it at all.
When Lu Yuan thought of this, he subconsciously took out his mobile phone to check the balance on his bank card. His mood instantly became so good that he even wanted to sing a song to express his happiness.
I am rich, I am inflated, I am happy!
This is more important than anything else.
“Pah.”
"Come in."
Just when Lu Yuan's mood was as bright as the sunshine outside the window, there was a knock on the door.
After hearing the knock on the door, Lu Yuan's smile immediately disappeared. Then he picked up the documents on the table and looked at them seriously, looking like he was working very seriously.
"Busy?"
"I'm fine. What's wrong?"
"Let me tell you something."
"What?"
Lu Yuan felt a little strange when he saw Wang Jinxue sitting opposite him. Usually, Wang Jinxue would leave after she finished talking, but today, Wang Jinxue sat down very seriously.
Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue.
It seems that Wang Jinxue may have something very important to tell me.
"Take a look at the information of these cars. Which one do you like? These are the models I have selected for you. I think they are all suitable for you."
"car?"
"Well, yes, you are a man of status now. It is really inappropriate to hire a car to meet other people all day. I personally think you should own a car. A car is proof of a man's status. Although it is a bit vulgar, this society is so vulgar. You should adapt to the local customs."
"Well, then let's buy that model... Well, let me take a look first." Lu Yuan was actually quite interested in cars. When he had no money before, he often fantasized about the Volkswagen Santana, Hyundai, Jeep and so on. Of course, he didn't even dare to think about those famous brand sports cars.
You are so poor and yet you still want a sports car? What’s the difference between this and wishful thinking?
Lu Yuan has always been a very pragmatic person.
"Well, take your time to choose." Wang Jinxue nodded and sat patiently opposite Lu Yuan watching him choose a car.
"Actually, I think it doesn't matter whether it's a car or not. What's important is that I need a car that suits me..." Lu Yuan looked at the information. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was becoming more and more shocked in his heart. He was simply trembling with fear!
Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW limited edition, Mercedes-Benz exclusive edition...
There is no car model listed in the information that costs less than five million. The cheapest Porsche costs more than six million.
Others will at least have their bank card balance reduced by one third!
What the hell!
How can we play this!
He didn't want to work hard for half a year like last time, only to be back to the situation before liberation!
"Yeah, that's right. Actually, I personally recommend this Rolls-Royce Phantom, which is pretty good. It costs about 20 million. I've ridden in this car before and it's pretty good. Of course, it also has a lot of space..."
"Let's talk about the car later. I don't even have a driver's license, so there's no rush." After listening to this, Lu Yuan pretended to be calm and handed the information back to Wang Jinxue, shaking his head.
"Let's hire a driver. Ten thousand a month is actually quite cheap." Wang Jinxue didn't notice anything unusual about Lu Yuan and just smiled.
"Haha, no need for that. A man should drive his own car. Why hire a driver? I don't like others driving for me. Well, the company is too busy recently. When I have a little free time, I will go to take the driver's license test. After I get the driver's license, I will buy a car." Lu Yuan shook his head and inadvertently touched his trembling little finger.
Quite cheap?
All right!
He and Wang Jinxue are not from the same world.
He even felt that he and Wang Jinxue were not playing the same game.
This is so speechless.
It’s not easy for me to make money!
If you recommend a car worth hundreds of thousands, I would buy it without hesitation, but you...
I can't save face, can't I?
"Yeah, that does make sense." Of course, Lu Yuan's acting skills were absolutely perfect at this moment. At least Wang Jinxue didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, she felt that Lu Yuan already possessed the mature temperament of a successful man.
This kind of temperament is actually a little bit attractive for a moment.
Wang Jinxue stared at Lu Yuan.
Her eyes slightly rippled. Compared with Lu Yuan half a year ago, she felt that Lu Yuan had indeed changed a lot...
At least I don't have that asshole feeling anymore.
After all, he is the boss of a company, right?
At this moment, Lu Yuan's cell phone rang again. Lu Yuan took out his phone and looked at the caller. It was An Xiao calling.
"Hey, recently on Weibo..."
"I'm fine, no need to comfort me. Actually, the blocking of my Weibo account has no impact on me. Thank you, I appreciate your kindness."
"???" An Xiao on the other end of the phone was obviously speechless. "I'm not calling to comfort you."
"What is that for?"
"I heard you're going to be casting for a female lead in a science fiction film, right?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Let me do it."
"You coming?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" An Xiao's voice suddenly became a little deep.
"Nothing, just asking casually, will you be the heroine?"
"Yeah, don't you trust me? I graduated from Yanying's acting class, so my acting skills are pretty good... You can check it out online. Two years ago, there was a movie called "Flowers Under the Wutong Tree," in which I played the third female role. You can see my acting skills, and I believe I can handle that role."
"It's okay for you to come over and act, but you also know that I'm a very fair person. You have to follow the audition process and get unanimous approval from Director Wei and me. After all, we are a professional crew and a professional team, and we can't give anyone a backdoor."
"I didn't mean to use the back door, I just asked when I could come for the audition."
"Well, actually...how much do you usually get paid for playing the leading female role now?" Lu Yuan asked subconsciously.
"Lu Manzi! What do you mean? Do you look down on me? Let me tell you, my current salary in the market is at least 10 million. I am now a popular actress, and I am no worse than those first-line actresses!"
"No, no, you misunderstood. In fact, pay and fame are not important. In Buried Alive, Lao Lu was only paid 100,000 yuan, and in The Wanderer, I even starred for free! I think the key is whether it is suitable or not. To be honest, I personally think that you are not suitable for the role of the heroine. Your temperament is not quite suitable. After all, the heroine in the script needs to be a little more mature, intellectual, and literary. Of course, I don't mean to say that you are not good. In fact, you are excellent in all aspects, very nice and charming, but you are not suitable for this movie. Okay... I'll hang up first. The signal here doesn't seem to be very good."
"Hello, hello, hello?"
“Beep.”
“…”
Lu Yuan hung up the phone and put it aside.
"You rejected An Xiao?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"You think she's not right for your movie?"
"Yeah, it's definitely not suitable."
"Lu Yuan, although her popularity is not as high as yours, she still has a lot of traffic. At least she has many amazing otaku fans. And I think it's not good for you to reject people so directly. You are not tactful enough." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan. Although Lu Yuan's rejection of An Xiao made Wang Jinxue feel slightly relieved, from other factors, she felt that Lu Yuan's attitude of directly rejecting An Xiao was too blunt.
This attitude is harder than steel.
"Wang Jinxue, I'll tell you the truth. I want to make a movie seriously. An Xiao certainly has potential traffic and many resources, but she is really not suitable to be the heroine of this movie. This is what my intuition as a screenwriter tells me. In fact, I have a line in my mind: suitable is suitable, and unsuitable is unsuitable. An Xiao is good in other aspects, but she is not suitable for my movie." Lu Yuan stood up and looked at Wang Jinxue very seriously.
The sunlight shone on Lu Yuan, making him seem covered with an inexplicable glow.
At this moment, Wang Jinxue's heart trembled slightly.
seem……
There was a little ripple in my heart.
But this feeling of being touched only lasted for a moment before Wang Jinxue frowned.
"You really don't look at An Xiao with prejudice, thinking that An Xiao is just a singer and can't act in a movie?"
"How could that be possible? Of course I didn't."
"real?"
"Really, don't you know who I am?"
"To be honest, I can't quite see through you. I never know what's going on in your mind. You're standing in front of me, but I feel like there's a long distance between us... It's a distance that cannot be reached." Wang Jinxue suddenly sighed.
"Actually, I can't see through myself. Of course, who can really see through themselves? In fact, the hardest person to see clearly is myself!" Lu Yuan felt that he should light a cigar at this moment and then look out the window silently.
My eyes should be melancholy, and in the melancholy there should be a hint of loss.
He's pretending to be a lonely artist who is not understood by anyone.
"I'll have to get busy first. The company has a lot of accounts to deal with recently." Wang Jinxue was not someone who was easily impressed. At least she felt that Lu Yuan seemed to be hiding something.
Of course, she didn't ask.
Some questions would make Lu Yuan feel disgusted. Since Lu Yuan didn't want to say it, it was not convenient for her to ask.
"Yeah, okay." Lu Yuan nodded.
"Lu Yuan..."
"Um?"
"I don't want us to suddenly become strangers, and I don't want us to become people from two different worlds... Can you promise me?"
"Um!"
Lu Yuan nodded, very seriously.
He felt that the atmosphere had inexplicably become heavy.
Wang Jinxue also nodded and smiled.
This kind of smile is very natural and comes from the happiness in the heart.
Lu Yuan didn't think much about it.
After Wang Jinxue left the office, Lu Yuan let out a long sigh, sat down on the chair and closed his eyes.
Until this moment, the number of tens of millions was rolling in his mind.
At this moment, he felt like he had survived a disaster.
In the last second, he felt like a multi-millionaire, but in the next second...
He suddenly felt like a piece of shit.
…
"Sister Chen."
"What's wrong?"
“Can you help me contact the remote company?”
"Remote company? That shell company?"
"yes."
"do what?"
"I want to try out for the female lead in Groundhog Day."
"Fang Fei, are you crazy? You rejected Director Zhang's "Perfect Life" and instead wanted to act in "Groundhog Day"? You must be kidding me."
"Sister Chen, you don't understand. Please help me contact him. I want to talk to Lu Yuan."
"Okay, I'll help you make the contact, but are you sure?"
"Sure."
"good."
"Thanks."
…
"Xiao Zhou."
"What's wrong……"
"Contact Director Lu."
"Which one?"
"Lu Yuan."
"Ah? Are you..."
"Yes, I want to try it."
"Him? With your status, I think..."
"Go, I think this is an interesting person."
"All right."
