Li You was naturally quite satisfied with the script of "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle". He signed a contract with Lu Yuan before leaving. Of course, after signing the contract, Li You also sincerely expressed his hope that Lu Yuan would join the crew as an assistant director, and the two of them would make the film together. He felt that the film had great potential, and after filming, he wanted to go to Berlin to participate in the International Film Festival.

It can be seen that Li You seems to be very ambitious about this movie, and even has plans for the future of the movie.

Lu Yuan did not agree to let Li You be an assistant director.

Although he had experience in filming Buried Alive and had been on the crew for a long time, he was more or less different, but Lu Yuan knew that he was still far behind...

And the assistant director...

What does an assistant director do?

The assistant director does all the work that the director is too lazy to do. When the director is unhappy with an actor, the assistant director will personally take the blame and teach that actor a lesson. At least that's how Lu Yuan tortured Fatty Wei when filming "Buried Alive".

Lu Yuan still remembers that at that time, Fatty Wei was responsible for all the dirty work, and he was only responsible for holding a loudspeaker and shouting in the crew. After shouting, the plot was filmed...

So, you let Lu Yuan do Fatty Wei's job.

What can this guy do?

What a joke.

After seeing Li You off, Lu Yuan looked at the time. It was already half past ten in the morning.

Lu Yuan yawned and then went back to his room and fell into a deep sleep. He had another scene at 2:30 in the afternoon, and it was impossible for him to go to the scene with such a tired body...

He needs a good rest.

…

The internal environment of a “remote” company is actually very harmonious.

Although this company is run like a small family workshop, everyone in the company is filled with a happy and cheerful atmosphere.

There is no intrigue or deception like in big companies.

When Li Qi heard that Lu Yihong wanted to play the leading role in his movie, he was naturally very welcome. Although the investment in this movie was really pitifully small, Lu Yihong's participation undoubtedly added a touch of high-end color to the movie.

Anyway, everyone gets salary and commission, so the difference isn't that big.

After reading the entire script of this movie, Lu Yihong was once again impressed by Lu Yuan's powerful imagination.

This sci-fi movie can actually be edited in this way, which really makes Lu Yihong feel fresh and unconventional...

Of course, it is impossible to be shocked.

In the past six months, Lu Yuan has been doing shocking things every other day.

This time, the script seemed very normal to Lu Yihong.

It's only natural that he writes so well.

Don’t ask why, the reason is because he is Lu Yuan!

The name Lu Yuan may only represent the king of headlines in China, but he is a monster within "Remote" Entertainment.

What did you monster do? What should everyone be shocked about?

This person is not human anymore...

Even if one day Lu Yuan swore that he was going to heaven, they would believe it.

After Lu Yihong joined the cast of "This Man From Earth", the entire crew was finally formed. Li Qi planned the filming progress...

The shooting can be completed in twelve days at the latest!

Twelve days...

Li Qi suddenly had an idea. If this movie could be finished in twelve days, could it be released on April Fools' Day?

He checked the movie trailers for April Fools' Day and found that the trailers for that day were basically some romance movies and some comedy movies. The biggest feature of these movies is that the investment is generally not high, but the box office performance is still good...

If this movie "This Man From Earth" was released on April 1st, it might have made millions at the box office.

Although it may not be able to compete for the box office championship, it should not be a problem to secure a top five spot.

Come on little by little.

After Li Qi and Lu Yihong finished their discussion, they went to find Lu Yuan who had just woken up.

"It's coming out on April 1st? Will it be rushed?"

“I won’t rush…I will do it very carefully.”

"Okay, let's get ready now."

"Um."

Lu Yuan himself had no objection. The sooner the movie was released, the sooner it would make money. Lu Yuan was certainly not stupid.

After getting Lu Yuan's consent, Li Qi naturally took the script and started discussing the details of tomorrow's shooting with Lu Yihong again.

…

The filming process of "Groundhog Day" began to go smoothly.

After truly breaking through that layer of window paper, Lu Yuan discovered that his acting skills had improved to the point where he could control it at will, and even his soul had been sublimated.

Before the filming started, Lu Yuan behaved the same as before in the crew, eating when he was supposed to and drinking when he was supposed to. But once he got into the filming state, Lu Yuan's whole temperament changed instantly.

There was even a moment when Xu Lu thought Lu Yuan was beginning to suffer from schizophrenia. He usually had an approachable smile on his face, but during the filming, he instantly turned into that selfish host who only knew how to complain and wanted to escape from this hateful town as soon as possible.

Even though Xu Lu is a talented actor, she couldn't handle Lu Yuan's sudden actions for a while. Many times when the plot reached a critical moment, Xu Lu would be shocked by Lu Yuan's temperament change, and then she would forget the words or express her emotions incorrectly, which slowed down the process a little...

Fatty Wei was actually very shocked by Lu Yuan's performance.

Even Lu Yuan's performance in some scenes made Fatty Wei want to rush in and scold Lu Yuan severely.

Finally, he reminded himself, this is a show!

It's just a play.

In short, Lu Yuan successfully portrayed a selfish person who is full of negative emotions!

Genius, is it a genius no matter what you do?

Fatty Wei could only sigh like this.

Lu Yuan did not become complacent because of his performance in the crew.

Lu Yuan himself knew that he was not a so-called genius. He was just copying the performance of the protagonist in the original world, and then deepening that performance when he was in good condition.

In other words, he tried to make up for the flaws in the performance of the original protagonist, but he also tried his best to expand the advantages...

Then, this situation occurred.

In a sense, you are cheating.

If Lu Yuan was really asked to play a person he had never met before, he felt that he might perform a shitty performance.

At least he is very clear about his own weight.

On the evening of March 20, after Fatty Wei announced that he had finished his work, the Marmot finally began to officially enter the plot of the concept of time, and Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finish filming this show as soon as possible so that you can have a good rest.

…

Shonan Station.

Station Director Xu Guangrong silently looked at the ratings of the recent programs and frowned.

With the gradual rise of online video platforms, the ratings of major TV programs have begun to decline to a certain extent.

This is an inevitable trend.

Even the Spring Festival Gala couldn't withstand such an impact, let alone other local channels.

If it was just a general decline, Xu Guangrong could still accept it. After all, it was within a certain range, and March was not the golden month for ratings, so it was normal for the data to be a little worse.

But……

When Xu Guangrong saw that the ratings of "Happy Camp" in March dropped from the peak of 15 in February to 12.5, he immediately got a headache.

He specifically looked through the previous episodes of "Happy Camp".

The level of the hosts is still there, especially the host He Ming, who has not lost his ability to speak wittily and humorously on the stage, and always makes the audience laugh. The atmosphere of the show is really great.

Logically speaking, it’s impossible for the ratings to drop so drastically!

Xu Guangrong was puzzled at first, but after seeing those guests, he suddenly understood something.

These invited guests don't seem to be very popular with the audience...

But why is it unpopular?

The recent episodes have invited popular young stars and some old-time variety show stars. Logically, they should be invincible...

Xu Guangrong narrowed his eyes.

"Secretary Chen, please ask Xiao Xu to come over. I have something to ask him."

"Oh well."

About half an hour later, the door of Xu Guangrong's office opened and Xu Peng walked in.

Xu Peng and Xu Guangrong both have the surname Xu, and they are also relatives. In terms of seniority, Xu Peng should call Xu Guangrong "uncle".

Of course, Xu Guangrong is not the kind of person who likes to be related by relatives. He has always valued ability. At least when Xu Peng graduated and entered Xiangnan TV Station, Xu Guangrong did not give him any help. Even other people in the station did not know that the two were relatives...

Of course, Xu Peng is indeed a capable guy. In the past few years, he and his team have planned a top program like "Happy Camp".

This made Xu Guangrong start to look at Xu Peng with new eyes, and gradually whenever something happened in the station, he would look for Xu Peng first.

"Master, you're looking for me?"

"Do you know why I came to you?"

"Because the ratings of Happy Camp have dropped..."

"Do you know why?"

"I know a little bit."

"What is the reason?"

"The guests we invited are not very popular with the audience..."

"What kind of guests do the audience like to watch? Should we conduct a questionnaire survey?"

"Director, I was just about to look for you. Actually, I conducted a survey and voting half a month ago, and now the preliminary results are out..."

"What was the result?"

"Lu Yuan ranked first in the votes, leaving the second place popular young actor Han Lu with more than 10,000 votes..."

"Lu Yuan..." Xu Guangrong's mind flashed with the image of the young man on the stage and he seemed to be thinking, "Then invite him..."

"I personally invited him, but unfortunately I failed..."

"Is he that big a star now?" Xu Guangrong frowned. "What did he ask for? If it's not excessive, it's okay to agree to it."

"If you don't ask for it, it means you've declined."

"No request? What does that mean?"

"I don't really understand what he's thinking...it seems like he's not very interested in our show."

"Have you told him about the advantages of our show?"

"I have already said that."

"He's playing big shot?"

"Well... he's not being a big shot. At least he's still quite enthusiastic towards me... he just has no intention of being on the show."

"No, you definitely don't know what he wants."

"I'm also wondering, but he didn't ask us for anything at all... How about I go over there tomorrow and invite him again?"

"Yes, that's right. Let's invite him again to show our sincerity. This time, you have to do your homework and know what he wants before talking to him. Otherwise, we won't be able to communicate well."

"Um."
