"Sister Liu, what's the response over there?"
"No one answered Mr. Qian's phone call. Mr. Qian's secretary said that Mr. Qian had already brought the doctor over to meet with Lu Yuan."
"Bring a doctor?"
"Yes, Lu Yuan seems to have a cold."
“…”
Han Lu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Lu Yuan has a cold?
Lu Yuan has a cold, why did you, Mr. Qian, bring the doctor over?
Are you familiar with him?
Han Lu's bad premonition has become stronger and stronger. Isn't this a clear sign of shaking off the contract with Lu Yuan?
"Xiaolu, don't be anxious. Sometimes no news is good news."
"Um."
Han Lu nodded reluctantly, but the worry in his heart became even stronger.
About ten minutes later...
"Mr. Qian called back!"
"Back?"
"Um."
"See what he says."
"good!"
Han Lu watched Sister Liu answer the phone. His smiling expression gradually froze, and then turned into disappointment. He knew that this was definitely not good news.
"Sister Liu...Mr. Qian..."
"Xiaolu, let me help you contact other endorsements. You have to cut off this relationship with Mr. Qian first."
"Sister Liu, he signed Lu Yuan!"
"right."
“…”
Han Lu took a deep breath and sat quietly in the chair, watching the dim lights below.
His heart began to sink gradually, and even slowly sank to the bottom.
A huge feeling of disappointment enveloped his whole body and made him feel powerless.
Lu Yuan's silly smiling face seemed to appear in his mind, and that face gradually became more and more hateful.
It would be fine if they had stolen his Newbuck endorsement for no apparent reason, but now they've stolen his Duro endorsement...
How many endorsements do you want to snatch from me before you stop?
Didn't I just set the pace before, and my fans had a fight with your fans?
The problem is that I lost the game, and I suffered a great loss...
Do you need to be so cautious?
And this time it was the fans of other young actresses who criticized you, not me. Why do I feel like you are targeting me?
Damn it!
…
"Mr. Lu, there's no need to send me off."
"Mr. Qian, take care!"
"Yes! Mr. Lu, you must contact me when the album is released, you must!"
"good."
Mr. Qian is gone.
He left happily with the contract.
Those who don't understand would think that it was Lu Yuan giving him money instead of him giving money to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan sent him to the door and they waved goodbye. Even though it was their first meeting, they felt strangely familiar with each other.
The night wind blew, and Lu Yuan watched Mr. Qian's car slowly leave. Under the moonlight, Lu Yuan actually felt that the shadow of the car was stretched very long, and finally the car disappeared in the distance.
"He's a nice guy, very sincere to others."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
"We can meet more sincere people like this in the future."
"I understand, Mr. Lu, let's go back. Director Zhang has been waiting in the room for a long time."
"good."
After returning to the company, Lu Yuan saw Zhang Tong in the lobby.
Zhang Tong, accompanied by an assistant and holding a briefcase, was sitting on the sofa in the company lobby playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Lu Yuan coming in, he stood up and smiled brightly.
"Did it work?"
"Yes, it's done."
“Not bad.”
"Not bad, Director Zhang, let's go in and talk."
"good."
Lu Yuan yawned slightly when he arrived at the office. He was really sleepy in the middle of the night. When chatting with Mr. Qian, Lu Yuan felt like he was chatting with a golden God of Wealth, so he was in a very good spirit. But after meeting Zhang Tong, Lu Yuan suddenly found that he felt sleepy instantly.
Zhang Tong didn't notice that Lu Yuan's spirit was beginning to decline, and he took out the script of "Happy All the Way" and handed it to Lu Yuan.
"Take a look at this script?"
"Oh, okay."
Lu Yuan suppressed the urge to yawn and took the script and glanced at it.
This is a comedy film in which a series of ridiculous stories happen when the protagonist travels from China to the United States.
Comedy scripts all seem to be refreshing, but Lu Yuan felt awkward after reading the script of "Happy All the Way". There was not a single funny point at all.
Half an hour later, Lu Yuan's eyelids were drooping. When he read the script, it was as if he saw a bunch of messy bugs crawling...
"Ayuan, what do you think of this script?"
"Script, are you telling the truth?" Lu Yuan raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhang Tong.
"Well, yes, to be honest."
"I think it's pretty average." Lu Yuan stared at Zhang Tong and said what was in his mind.
"Average? Then what do you think of the protagonist Li Xiao? For example, if you were asked to play the role, could you interpret this character to another level?" Zhang Tong felt disappointed after hearing this, but he still looked at Lu Yuan seriously.
"Director Zhang, I'm not really interested..."
"Xiao Lu, comedy films have already begun to emerge in the entire film industry. I think the future of Chinese films should take the route of low-cost comedies rather than blindly going the art film route. Maybe you think this script is ordinary now, but if you really shoot it according to the script, the box office may create a miracle." Zhang Tong did not give up.
"Director Zhang, actually I will be busy with the filming of my own films "Groundhog Day" and "The Man from Earth" in the next few days, and I really don't have the time." Lu Yuan continued to shake his head.
He is just one person, and one person really cannot spare too much energy to act in several movies.
He is human.
He is really not a god.
And he doesn't think Zhang Tong's movie will be a hit...
Any script I write will be better than Zhang Tong's.
"Oh, okay." Zhang Tong could only nod after seeing Lu Yuan's expression.
If Lu Yuan still refuses after all this has been said, it means that he is truly not interested in this movie.
In fact, after receiving the script, for some reason the first thought that came to Zhang Tong’s mind was Lu Yuan.
He felt that Lu Yuan was very suitable to play the leading role, and that Lu Yuan and the leading role were actually quite similar in some ways.
Before coming, he thought about what Lu Yuan wanted to talk to him about.
For example, treatment, pay, and other things.
But now...
Lu Yuan didn't talk to him about anything and didn't even like his script.
This made Zhang Tong very embarrassed.
The conversation wasn't very pleasant.
After the two chatted about some other things, Zhang Tong stood up and said goodbye.
"Xiao Lu, are you really not considering this role?"
"I'm sorry, Director Zhang, thank you for your kindness. I actually really want to work with you, but you also know that I really don't have much energy and time right now. After all, I'm not alone anymore, and I'm really busy during this period..." Lu Yuan forced himself to give an apologetic smile.
"Oh, that's a shame, Xiao Lu. If you ever change your mind, contact me... I have a feeling this movie might be a big hit!"
"Director Zhang, I'm sorry."
Lu Yuan didn't know what to say anymore. At this moment, all he could say was sorry.
Seeing that Lu Yuan really had no interest in what he was doing, Zhang Tong turned around and said goodbye.
Lu Yuan pretended to stay for a while, and Zhang Tong also pretended to say that he had a lot of things to do and it was inconvenient for him to stay.
Everyone understands polite words.
After the two of them talked about some hypocritical things, Zhang Tong turned and left.
Lu Yuan was yawning non-stop at this moment, and his eyelids were drooping.
He originally thought that he could hold on for a while, and felt that it would be no big deal if he took in guests for three days and three nights.
But in reality…
He found that this thing was completely different from playing games.
Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the time and saw that it was around two o'clock in the morning.
"Wu Tingting."
"Mr. Lu?"
"I'm going to sleep now. If there are any guests coming later, please help me entertain them, or we can just talk about it tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." Wu Tingting also felt the fatigue in Lu Yuan and nodded.
However, just after Lu Yuan stretched and prepared to go upstairs, Wu Tingting's cell phone rang.
Wu Tingting looked at her phone.
Director Li You didn't come, but the superstar singer Zhou Xiaofeng who came to invite him to sing came first...
"What's wrong?"
"Zhou Xiaofeng is here."
"He's coming?"
"Well, Mr. Lu, you go and have a rest first, leave this to me..."
"I'll go get the guitar. If he's around, you can ask the singer to come in first. We can sleep for a few minutes." Lu Yuan yawned, rubbed his eyes slightly, and then he became a little more alert.
At least he is more energetic than when he met Zhang Tong just now.
"Ah? Mr. Lu, you mean..."
"Didn't he invite me to write a song? If he can get here within 20 minutes, you can ask him to come to the company. You can wait for him. I will write whatever type of song he wants... Oh, prepare the contract, and everything will be done according to An Xiao's profit-sharing contract..."
"Okay." Wu Tingting nodded.
Suddenly I felt a little confused.
At the same time, it's a bit weird.
Give him whatever type he wants?
Why does it sound like Mr. Lu is just trying to get rid of him casually?
this……
…
It is really immoral to visit Lu Yuan after the middle of the night.
Zhou Xiaofeng's original intention in calling Wu Tingting was to make an appointment to visit her tomorrow morning. He planned to sleep in the hotel nearby with his agent tonight.
However, when he called Wu Tingting, he was puzzled by the response she gave him.
Ask him if he can get to the company in 20 minutes.
The sooner the better.
It takes only twenty minutes to reach Lu Yuan’s company. Lu Yuan’s company is not far from the highway intersection and can be reached in about ten minutes.
So he asked his agent to send the luggage to the nearby hotel, and he went to Lu Yuan's company first.
When he came to Lu Yuan's company, he saw Wu Tingting standing at the door.
"Hello, Miss Wu, I'm Zhou Xiaofeng, may I ask Mr. Lu..."
"Hello, come with me this way, Mr. Lu has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Mr. Lu..." Zhou Xiaofeng was inexplicably moved when he heard this.
He and Lu Yuan were not familiar with each other, and his attempt to contact Lu Yuan this time was actually just a try-it-out move. And logically speaking, with Lu Yuan's current fame in the mainland, Lu Yuan could just act like a big shot, and there would be no problem at all.
But Lu Yuan was still waiting for him so late.
Does Lu Yuan actually value him so much?
When Zhou Xiaofeng followed Wu Tingting into Lu Yuan's office, he saw a young man sitting in the office tuning his guitar.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, King Zhou has arrived."
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Hello, King Zhou. By the way, what type of song do you want?"
"Ah?" Zhou Xiaofeng originally thought that Lu Yuan would chat with him about some family matters, or even ask him why he had disappeared in recent years, things that everyone wants to know, and then exchange a few words of greeting, but he didn't expect Lu Yuan to just say this.
Very simple, very rough...
It was so rough that he was not used to it.
"King Zhou, I scared you, didn't I? Sorry, I've always been very direct. By the way, you should be able to remember the music, right?"
"Um...yes." Zhou Xiaofeng nodded subconsciously. He was in a daze.
He didn't understand what Lu Yuan was going to do...
What's the point of asking this question?
"What kind of song do you want?"
"Something inspiring and positive. Of course, it would be best if it could be heart-wrenching... For the rest, I think..." Although he didn't know what Lu Yuan was up to, Zhou Xiaofeng still proposed the song he wanted to sing to Lu Yuan.
"You should understand the division of An Xiao's song 'Invisible Wings', can you accept it?" Lu Yuan nodded after listening.
"I can..." Zhou Xiaofeng continued to nod. At this moment, he felt a little confused.
"Okay! Wu Tingting, take a piece of paper and write down the lyrics... Zhou Tianwang... ahem, please remember the melody of this song..."
“This… is good…”
Wu Tingting was also a little frightened by Lu Yuan's sudden move.
This Mr. Lu...
What is he going to do?
“…”
Zhou Xiaofeng stood there stupidly, watching Lu Yuan finish tuning the music.
He couldn't figure out the situation...
…
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Xiaofeng walked out of Remote Entertainment Company holding the signed contract and the lyrics book of "Stubborn".
His mind was empty...
Very confused.
A gust of cold wind blew and he shivered...
"Xiaofeng, I put my luggage in the hotel, let's go in..."
"Sister Chen..."
"What's wrong?"
"Let's...let's go quickly..."
"What? You don't want to ask Lu Yuan to sing for you? Or did Lu Yuan reject you directly?"
"I... you won't believe me if I tell you this, but I've already invited you..."
“???” Agent Sister Chen was stunned.
"Sister Chen, there's no way to explain it. I don't know why I'm a little scared now. Let's talk in the car, okay..." Zhou Xiaofeng felt cold to his bones when he thought of the horrifying look in Lu Yuan's office just now.
It's a terrifying feeling, like seeing a ghost.
He shuddered again!
This place...
There's something wrong with Nima.
Is this Lu Yuan a human or a ghost?
This late at night...
this……
