Lu Yuan was depressed because he was mistaken for a liar.

But what’s the use of being depressed?

It's impossible for him to hold a press conference immediately to prove that he is the real Lu Yuan, right?

Proving yourself is really stupid.

After having a quick breakfast, he went back to bed and slept for a few hours. At noon, Lu Yuan walked towards the crew.

Yesterday afternoon, a machine in the crew broke down and was sent to the factory for repair, so they were temporarily closed this morning. Also, because the filming has not been going smoothly in the past few days, we took this opportunity to let Lu Yuan get back into shape.

After arriving at the crew, Lu Yuan said hello to Fatty Wei and the others before starting today's filming...

But……

The filming progress of "Groundhog Day" is still very stuck.

Lu Yuan was even forced to do more than ten NGs in one hour.

He totally failed to find the state that Fatty Wei wanted, and it seemed that the extremely smooth shooting state on the first day was no longer there.

This is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Lu Yuan seems to have become a cancer. At first, everyone else was in good condition, but Lu Yuan was the only one who couldn't find the feeling. However, as Lu Yuan kept bumping into things, the conditions of everyone else also collapsed.

He was completely defeated by Lu Yuan.

Several main actors in the entire crew made mistakes in their lines, their acting was not up to par, their movements were wrong, and everything became terrible...

It seems that the only one who is still filming diligently and in good shape is Xu Lu.

The plot is actually not difficult. The protagonist comes to a small town. At first, he doesn’t think this town is anything special. He still lives a life that is annoying and hates people. He still does his own thing and satirizes this and that...

It was just such a simple plot, but Lu Yuan had no control over his character at all, and he felt even worse than the previous two days.

Fatty Wei was naturally not satisfied with Lu Yuan's condition. Not only was Fatty Wei dissatisfied with Lu Yuan's condition, but even Lu Yuan began to doubt whether he was suitable for acting.

If we really go by the difficulty of shooting, "Groundhog Day" is far less difficult than "Nomadland", and in the early stages there was not as much bitterness and hatred as in "Nomadland".

If you can't even act this well, what the hell are you doing?

I might as well go home and open a restaurant.

Lu Yuan had no choice.

He feels bitter.

He actually tried to recall the plots he had seen in his mind, and then began to imitate the expressions of the male protagonist when acting, but Lu Yuan found that no matter how he imitated it, it was weird, and he couldn't even imitate that flavor at all.

The more you imitate, the more problems you will encounter, and the more you imitate, the more you want to slap yourself.

What exactly is wrong with me?

What on earth happened?

After another hiccup, Lu Yuan took advantage of the break to sit alone under a big locust tree next to the crew and thought silently.

Xu Lu looked at Lu Yuan who was alone, then gritted her teeth and followed him.

"Mr. Lu...is it convenient for me to sit next to you?"

"Oh, Xu Lu, please sit down."

After seeing Xu Lu's timid expression, Lu Yuan nodded with a little doubt in his heart.

Xu Lu usually doesn't look for her own.

"Mr. Lu, you are too tired."

"tired?"

"Well, Mr. Lu, when we were filming together today, I clearly felt that you seemed very tired mentally. Maybe this is a kind of fatigue that you yourself are not aware of, which is very fatal to acting..."

"Am I in good spirits?"

"No, Mr. Lu, that kind of tiredness seems like you have something on your mind... It's not because you didn't get enough rest, but because of other things. Mr. Lu, I feel like you're distracted." Xu Lu sat next to Lu Yuan and mustered up the courage to look Lu Yuan in the eye, while saying what she wanted to say.

"Distracted..." Lu Yuan frowned, but then he was a little confused.

He still didn't understand.

"Mr. Lu, we actors should be pure. When playing a role, we have to empty ourselves and not let anything disturb our emotions. It is best to forget those things that are irrelevant to the role. Only in this way can we truly integrate into the role. Mr. Lu, I feel that your mind is very confused, or you are very impetuous. In any case, we should put aside those worries and play a role purely... Even if it is not possible, we have to control our emotions..." Xu Lu told Lu Yuan her understanding very seriously. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly and her face blushed slightly. The whole person returned to her timid state.

"purely?"

Lu Yuan closed his eyes.

Why can’t I get into the mood when I’m acting?

It was really like Xu Lu said, I was hiding something or something.

He recalled the time when he was acting in "The Wanderer".

At that time, he could easily get into the state, and he was acting completely naturally when he was smoking.

Acting in your true self is actually very advantageous. You don't have to play someone else, you just need to immerse yourself in the role.

So what now?

He began to reflect.

What's wrong with me?

"Mr. Lu... are you... okay? I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I talked nonsense, I'm sorry... are you... okay?" Xu Lu looked at Lu Yuan with his eyes closed, looking expressionless and indifferent, and she stood up subconsciously.

She was a little nervous.

Will what I just said make Mr. Lu feel uncomfortable?

Would President Lu be angry? Would President Lu hate me?

Her heart was a little confused.

"..." Lu Yuan did not respond to Xu Lu but continued to think with his eyes closed.

Some people are gifted and can immediately and skillfully perform the role with body movements and other methods after receiving it, while others are gifted but cannot find the key reason and need reminders and to calm down.

Lu Yuan is the latter. He actually has some talent, but his mind is very confused.

A series of events during this period made Lu Yuan's mood inevitably become impetuous. Although he and the people around him did not notice this impetuousness, Xu Lu did notice it.

In this way, Xu Lu stood there anxiously, while Lu Yuan sat there for more than ten minutes.

Lu Yuan thought about many things.

I thought about the hotel, the script, the money, Shen Lianjie, the company, and even "Magic World"...

His mind was indeed occupied by a lot of dog stuff.

This is the real root of the problem...

I'm not pure anymore.

When the midday sun gradually moved westward, Lu Yuan finally opened his eyes and let out a breath.

It was as if he had let out everything in his heart.

He calmed down.

Once you know the root cause of the problem, everything will be easy to solve.

He felt that he seemed to have made a little progress.

"Thank you..." He stood up and looked at Xu Lu seriously.

"Ah... Mr. Lu, please don't be like this, I... I..." After being thanked by Lu Yuan, Xu Lu suddenly became at a loss and began to stutter.

"Let's go, let's try the script again this time."

"good!"

In the distance, Wang Jinxue silently watched Lu Yuan and Xu Lu walk back to the crew one after the other, and her eyes became a little helpless...

Helplessly, she regained her composure and watched Lu Yuan's back gradually fade away...

Finally she looked down at the mineral water in her hand.

She shook her head, silently threw the mineral water into the trash can, and turned and left.

She never entered the crew to say hello to other people from beginning to end. She even felt that she would not be able to visit the crew again until the filming of "Groundhog Day" was completed.

Although she knew that it was normal for the male and female protagonists to sit together and chat and discuss the script.

but……

She just wasn't feeling well.

She didn't like this feeling.

…

"Ayuan... let's forget about it today and go back to rest early."

"Try it one last time."

"Ayuan, we've tried many times. You may need to take a good rest now. Besides, the others don't seem to be in good shape either..."

"Try again."

"All right."

According to Fatty Wei's experience, there is actually no need to try this.

After all, it's been like this for several days in a row, and trying again won't make any difference.

In fact, Fatty Wei himself was quite helpless.

If the leading actor was not Lu Yuan but someone else, he would have started cursing or even directly demanded a change of leading actor.

But……

He can't.

Even Lu Yuan could scold him, but he couldn't scold Lu Yuan.

This is a very sad story.

Who made me work for Lu Yuan?

This crew is the largest in the world...

"Then let's go to the third act..."

"Starting from the second act... I am not very satisfied with the second act..."

"Ah, isn't Act II already passed?"

"I felt there were a lot of flaws in the second act reshoot..."

"This, Ayuan, this will cost a lot of money..."

"Start over."

"Oh, okay! Attention all departments, start shooting again from the second scene..." Fatty Wei glanced at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan also looked at Fatty Wei.

Fatty Wei saw a hint of determination in Lu Yuan's eyes, and at the same time, there was a strange emotion in that determination that he himself couldn't describe.

Fatty Wei felt that Lu Yuan seemed like a different person.

seem……

Is the temperament also a little different?

Forget it, if you want to reshoot it, then do it. It’s your money that’s being wasted, not mine…

It's nothing to do with me...

Fatty Wei didn't think much about it and started filming according to Lu Yuan's request.

Photographer, lighting engineer, sound engineer...

People from all departments stared at Lu Yuan.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew and blew Lu Yuan's hair.

The second act begins...

"I hate this place. I came here two years ago and it was miserable..."

In the camera, Lu Yuan got out of the car and looked at everything in the distance. A trace of disgust appeared on his face, and the whole person seemed like a different person.

His voice changed, too.

Become very sarcastic and irritable.

He even looks like a groundhog...

Xu Lu felt the change in Lu Yuan. Although she was very surprised, she still looked at Lu Yuan according to the script.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the depths of her eyes.

Lu Yuan ignored the ridicule and continued to complain with an expression that sounded helpless but had to do it.

Fatty Wei was stunned.

Look at Lu Yuan who is so comfortable in front of the camera and even makes every detail perfect.

this……

Is it really Lu Yuan?

Is it really the Lu Yuan who can’t stand even a bump?

The filming of the second scene was even more perfect and more vivid than the first.

Lu Yuan once again began to interpret his very crazy acting skills...

It was exactly the same as when we were filming "The Wanderer".

Lu Yuan's expression even made Fatty Wei want to kick him.

His expression...

Very annoying!

but……

This is the protagonist of the marmot!

"pass!"

"Act III!"

"pass!"

"continue!"

"pass……"

When Lu Yuan found this state, everything went smoothly, just like when he was filming "The Wanderer"...

This time, Lu Yuan was even able to use his own temperament to drive the performance of those around him.

Xu Lu was also surprised at Lu Yuan's transformation!

Lu Yuan's acting is very fierce...

She even began to hate Lu Yuan, who was always complaining and self-righteous.

Although, she understood that this was a role.

Well, it's just a role.

…

As the sun set, the crew ended the filming with Fatty Wei cheering excitedly.

Lu Yuan exhaled and closed his eyes.

Under the setting sun, he felt that his temperament was sublimated.

Just like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, it began to become different.

He needs peace.

Need to calm down.

Then……

His cell phone rang...

"Hello, I'm Liu from the Magic World company. May I ask... will you really invest in us?"

After answering the phone...

Lu Yuan found that the calmness he had maintained with great difficulty had completely collapsed again.

He seemed to hear the sound of the fireball spell again.

This Internet addiction is like a cigarette addiction...

he……

It seems that I feel myself sinking again.

"How much?"

"Three hundred... no, two million..."

"Come to my company tomorrow and talk to me..."

"Where is your company and what is its name..."

"'Remote' entertainment..."

"You...really...could it be that you, could it be that..."

"Come over, there's a surprise. It's worth the risk. By the way, the travel expenses are not reimbursed..."

“…”
