The next morning, Lu Yuan woke up on time at six o'clock.

After waking up, he sat in bed feeling weird. He didn't know why he always felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't remember what was wrong.

The bed is still the same bed, the TV is still the same TV, everything is the same as usual.

What's wrong?

After being stunned for about ten seconds, he suddenly realized that something was strange.

Wang Jinxue did not knock on the door to wake him up on time as usual.

Wang Jinxue had been urging him to get up for a long time, and Lu Yuan was very uncomfortable when she suddenly stopped waking him today.

What's wrong with her?

Lu Yuan shook his head, got up from the bed, washed up and ate.

At the breakfast table, Lu Yuan saw Wang Jinxue and An Xiao sitting side by side. When Wang Jinxue saw Lu Yuan coming down, she took a quick look and then continued eating her breakfast. An Xiao was concentrating on eating, as if she was unaware of Lu Yuan's arrival.

Lu Yuan originally wanted to say hello to the two of them.

But for a moment I didn't know how to start talking.

He is a bit of a taciturn person sometimes, and he feels that the atmosphere is a bit awkward and he doesn't know how to break the deadlock.

You wanna tell a joke?

Is this a joke?

An indescribable feeling floated between the three of them. The three of them ate their own breakfast, like strangers to each other.

"Did you finish eating?"

"Yeah, I'm done."

"You used to have a big appetite, why did you only eat half today?"

"No... I'm a little full."

"Oh, okay."

When An Xiao put down his chopsticks halfway through his meal, Wang Jinxue turned around and looked at An Xiao, with a hint of indifference in her voice.

An Xiao lowered his head, as if feeling a little guilty and not daring to look Wang Jinxue in the eye.

But she didn't turn around and leave. She just sat there stupidly.

Lu Yuan did not listen to the conversation between the two, but instead concentrated on eating breakfast.

As for women, sometimes it's always hard to understand them. If you don't understand them, just stop messing around and eat your meal.

"Lu Yuan..."

"What?" Lu Yuan looked up when he heard Wang Jinxue calling him.

"How do you arrange your role?"

"The heroine from Groundhog Day?"

"yes."

"Didn't you care about the movie before?"

"Now I just want to know about the heroine."

"Jinxue, let me tell you the truth. I have already decided on the college student named Xu Lu. She will come for the interview tomorrow."

"Not considering other people?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Lu Yuan nodded with a serious expression and a firm voice.

He was afraid that Wang Jinxue would suddenly recommend An Xiao.

There was no way he would let An Xiao play the leading role. The total investment was only about five million, so why would he consider other people?

Lu Yuan’s current principle is that he doesn’t want to spend too much money on actors.

Isn't the investment in "Capital City" huge? It's tens of millions! Isn't Liu Fangfei famous? Very famous!

But what is the final outcome?

This case tells Lu Yuan that it is not just big-name stars that can make a movie a hit; the key still lies in the quality of the movie!

"Where are Liu Fangfei and the others?"

"After Xu Lu is officially confirmed, I will ask Wu Tingting to make an official announcement on Weibo."

"Lu Yuan, you didn't pay attention to the headlines on the Internet today, did you?"

"I didn't notice what happened?"

"Online fans of several young actresses are already arguing over who will be the female lead. If you suddenly announce that an unknown little person will be the female lead, I'm afraid these fans will turn their guns on you."

"What's the meaning?"

"I think An Xiao can be the heroine. She is suitable in every aspect." Wang Jinxue looked up at Lu Yuan seriously.

An Xiao was suddenly surprised when he heard this!

Yes, very surprised.

Yesterday she slept with Wang Jinxue. Although Wang Jinxue didn't say anything as usual, she vaguely felt that Wang Jinxue's mood seemed to have changed a little.

This was her intuition.

Moreover, Wang Jinxue was the kind of person who would not recommend herself to Lu Yuan. When she came, she told Wang Jinxue about Lu Yuan several times, but Wang Jinxue always dismissed her with the words that this was Lu Yuan's company and she had no right to give any opinions to Lu Yuan.

Now that Wang Jinxue suddenly recommended herself, An Xiao felt really strange.

"An Xiao is really good, and she is really good in all aspects, but I have already decided on the heroine and I will not change it." Lu Yuan shook his head after facing Wang Jinxue's gaze.

"An Xiao ranked first in the online vote for the most suitable female lead, with a very high approval rating, and there will be a certain amount of room for hype with you. If you really choose a new actress, you will probably be scolded by these fans..." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan. Although she felt uncomfortable with the online rumors about Lu Yuan and An Xiao, from a rational point of view, it was indeed better to do it this way.

An Xiao lowered his head.

Her face was slightly red.

She only found out about the scandal between her and Lu Yuan yesterday.

There was nothing wrong with her personally, but when people talked about her publicly, especially when Wang Jinxue said it, everything felt different.

as if……

It was as if she had done something shameful, even though it was completely unexpected.

"Do you think I'm afraid of being scolded?" Lu Yuan smiled indifferently.

His Weibo account has been blocked and will not be unblocked until tomorrow. How do you think those people will find a place to curse?

Moreover, he only regards Weibo as an advertising platform. Doesn’t the harsher the insults below the platform symbolize the higher his popularity?

Go to Tieba?

He doesn't even play this thing, so your criticism has nothing to do with him.

Online headlines, portal website comments?

Does he pay attention to these? Haha, he never pays attention to them.

We only found out about the last fan fight between him and Han Lu when the outcome was already decided.

What impact does the online quarrel have on him?

Will it affect the 170 million cash in my bank card?

Will it affect my ability to make money?

No impact at all!

Even if he was scolded for having cash income, Lu Yuan might even put on a vest and go to the enemy camp to scold himself harshly, even to the point of being dizzy.

That's just the kind of person he is.

"Have you decided?" Wang Jinxue was silent for a while after seeing Lu Yuan's indifferent expression, and then asked.

"Okay, it's decided. I won't change it." Lu Yuan nodded.

"Oh, okay." Wang Jinxue said nothing more after hearing the determination in Lu Yuan's voice.

She knew Lu Yuan would not change anything.

An Xiao felt extremely embarrassed for a moment.

Lu Yuan rejected her again, and even Wang Jinxue's words were useless.

She was very depressed.

Am I really that unpopular with you, Lu Yuan? What did I do wrong? Wasn't it just that I went a little overboard during the audition?

Is it necessary to treat me like this?

This breakfast was really not tasty for An Xiao.

Very embarrassing.

She felt like she was being criticized.

Just at this moment, Wu Tingting walked in from outside.

"Mr. Lu..."

"What?"

"Xu Lu is here."

"Shouldn't you ask her to come tomorrow?"

"She came early..."

"Okay, let's go meet her together."

"good."

Lu Yuan stood up and followed Wu Tingting to the meeting room.

An Xiao and Wang Jinxue were sitting.

Both of them stared at Lu Yuan's back as he gradually disappeared.

"I can't change him. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it." Wang Jinxue suddenly smiled.

"Jinxue, you are safe. At least he is... a standard steel straight man. No, it should be a diamond straight man." An Xiao didn't know what expression to use to describe his mood at this moment.

In short, her mood was complicated.

Lu Yuan was determined not to cooperate with her and didn't even give Wang Jinxue any face.

"No, it's just that you don't understand him." Wang Jinxue shook her head.

"Do you understand him?"

"I don't really understand it either, but I think I will understand it slowly..."

"He is such a mysterious person." An Xiao sighed.

“Haha, everyone is mysterious.”

"Jinxue, are you not angry with me anymore?" An Xiao looked at Wang Jinxue subconsciously.

"Why am I angry?"

"Don't you doubt that I..."

"You've already said he's a diamond, why should I doubt it..." Wang Jinxue suddenly found it a little funny.

If Lu Yuan was someone who could be dealt with so easily, then he would not be Lu Yuan.

In a sense, she wasn't really worried.

"..." An Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say for a moment.

She is complicated.

At this moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or frustrated...

…

Xu Lu was a little timid, in fact she was a little nervous.

Just as she said in the dormitory, she came to the audition for "Groundhog Day" not because she felt she was capable of it, but because she wanted to meet Lu Yuan in person and hoped that Lu Yuan could get to know her.

She likes Lu Yuan's song "Lilac", "To Alice" and "Lullaby", as well as Lu Yuan's song "Salted Fish" and "Invisible Wings" which Lu Yuan wrote for An Xiao.

She heard a lot of ups and downs and inspiration in Lu Yuan's songs, especially the song "Invisible Wings", which she felt was very similar to herself.

So she became a fan of Lu Yuan unknowingly and has been silently supporting Lu Yuan. She even joined the fight when Han Lu and Lu Yuan's fans were fighting each other.

So, she came for the audition, but of course, she felt that she had no chance of success since her opponents were all very strong.

But she just wanted Lu Yuan to notice her.

Fans all want to get the attention of their idols.

She is no exception.

However, she didn't expect that Lu Yuan would actually call her and inform her to come over!

She almost didn't sleep the whole night last night, so today she couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart and bought a ticket and ran over.

"Xu Lu, didn't I ask you to come tomorrow..."

"I'm sorry, I... I just wanted to come over and take a look, but I couldn't help it. How about I come over tomorrow?" Xu Lu felt a little nervous standing in front of Lu Yuan.

"Now that you're here, can I still chase you away?" Lu Yuan shook his head. "Don't be nervous. Sit down."

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Lu."

"By the way, you haven't signed with any other company yet, right?"

"No, Mr. Lu, I didn't sign anything."

"Oh, that's good, Wu Tingting, give her the contract."

"Ah, Mr. Lu, are you really...this..." Wu Tingting hesitated a little after taking out the contract from her bag.

"Yeah, yes, give it to her."

"Oh." Although Wu Tingting felt that Lu Yuan's action seemed unreasonable, she still handed it to Xu Lu.

"The heroine?" Xu Lu was stunned, then looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

"Yes, the pay for this movie won't be too high, only about 50,000. You can accept that, right? Although you have good acting skills, and I admit and admire you, you are a newcomer after all, and you don't have much experience in film acting on your resume. At the same time, the investment in our movie itself is not high. If you can accept it, let's sign it. If you can't accept it...you should think about it." Lu Yuan looked at Xu Lu.

"I...I...I...Can I?" Xu Lu stuttered, and for a moment she had the illusion that pie had fallen from the sky.

"Sign it if there's no problem." Lu Yuan nodded.

He thought Xu Lu would ask him for a price.

However, Xu Lu didn't seem to have any intention of asking for a price.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, thank you! I, I will act well!" Xu Lu quickly picked up the contract, tremblingly signed her name, and then the whole person fell into great happiness...

Did she succeed?

She couldn't believe it.

She was completely unaware that the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth curved slightly, and then the curve returned to normal.

As for Wu Tingting, she was stunned.

Previously the budget for the heroine was around 500,000.

But now...

fifty thousand?

???

this……

Isn’t that too cruel?

…

The war of words on the Internet is still going on, and has reached a fierce and brutal level.

Early morning of March 3rd.

The official Weibo account of "Remote" suddenly and unexpectedly announced the candidate.

Then……

All the young actress' fans were shocked. It was as if they had seen the funniest joke in the world.

They even thought they were seeing things.

They looked at it again very carefully and found that they were not mistaken at all.

Then……

They are angry!
