There was nothing special about the shooting the next morning.
This is how Lu Yuan filmed it, and this is how the plot progressed. If I were to describe it in three words, it would be very smooth.
Both Xu Lu and other actors were in great shape and shot three scenes in one morning, which made Lu Yuan very happy. If they could continue shooting like this every day, the movie would be finished around April 23rd.
Of course he knew this was bullshit.
Even if everyone's acting skills are always good in the crew, there will inevitably be problems with the cameraman or the lighting technician, so it's impossible to have a smooth journey. If that's the case...
Ahem, Lu Yuan absolutely suspected that everyone in the crew was using the system to cheat.
The more than two hours of free time at noon is very precious to Lu Yuan. He usually uses this time to take a good nap to make up for the lack of sleep from staying up late at night.
After lunch, Lu Yuan yawned and was about to go to his room to take a nap as usual when Wu Tingting knocked on Lu Yuan's office door...
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
"Planner Xu is here."
"Which Xu planned it?"
"Mr. Lu, that's Xu Peng from Happy Camp. You should have an impression of him, right?"
"Oh, I remember. What is he doing here?"
"He should be here to invite you to participate in Happy Camp again."
"Khan, didn't I refuse before?"
"He probably won't give up... Mr. Lu, do you want me to tell you that you're not here?" Wu Tingting knew that Lu Yuan rarely appeared on variety shows like this. To be honest, Lu Yuan had only participated in the "Crossover Masked Singer" competition once in the past six months. As for the others...
Well, the rest are basically pushed.
No matter what conditions were offered, Lu Yuan rejected them.
Although Wu Tingting didn't know why Lu Yuan didn't like this kind of variety show, she didn't ask.
After all, Ms. Lu can release whatever she wants now, and it is her freedom. As her agent, I have no right to ask this.
"Let's meet... Shonan TV is a big TV station after all, we can't be so disrespectful to them... Go make a pot of tea." Lu Yuan shook his head.
"good."
…
Xu Peng came to see Lu Yuan with great sincerity this time and brought some specialties from southern Hunan to show his sincerity.
The "Remote" entertainment company is not big, and it is even the smallest entertainment company Xu Peng has ever seen. However, when Xu Peng walked into the "Remote" entertainment company, he began to feel a little nervous.
Lu Yuan is different from other stars. Other stars would immediately catch a plane to Shonan TV when they heard they could be on Happy Camp, and they didn't even need to ask a second time. But Lu Yuan did the opposite, as if his Happy Camp was nothing in other people's eyes...
That's fucked up.
In fact, in a sense, Lu Yuan is not very interested in "Happy Camp".
The biggest selling point of "Happy Camp" is its popularity, that is, exposure and topics.
Does Lu Yuan still need to be exposed? Just think about it, aren't there enough people in China who know Lu Yuan? There's no need to talk about topics. He has been dominating the headlines for such a long time. When has he not been a topic of discussion?
Many things become rigid in this way.
Xu Peng is really troubled by Lu Yuan, a silent troublemaker in the entertainment industry.
"Brother Xu, you are here, sit down, sit down..."
"Boss Lu, you look a lot more haggard recently."
"I've been too busy with work recently, so I might be a little haggard."
"Mr. Lu, please take care of your health. After all, your health is the capital of revolution."
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother Xu, thank you for coming all the way here..."
Although Lu Yuan had no interest in variety shows like "Happy Camp", he was still very enthusiastic when Xu Peng came in, at least his expression showed that he respected him very much.
After Xu Peng sat down, he took a quick look at Lu Yuan's office. He found that Lu Yuan's office was no different from the last time he came. Except for a few more English books on the desk, it was exactly the same as before.
"Mr. Lu, are you learning English recently?"
"Yeah, I've been thinking about it recently."
"How's your study going?"
"Not bad, I can speak some normal conversations now..."
Lu Yuan was quite proud when it came to English. Although he wasted his time every day, he still insisted on memorizing ten English words and a few grammar sentences every day. After such a long time, Lu Yuan felt that he was pretty awesome...
At least……
Can speak some lame dialogue.
"Oh, Mr. Lu is really admirable. He is so talented and yet he still remembers to learn..."
"Hey, hey, I'm just learning it casually, just for fun... Come, drink tea, drink tea, this is West Lake Longjing, it's pretty good..."
"Okay... Mr. Lu, actually..."
"I actually like drinking tea, too. I wonder if you like it, Brother Xu?"
"I like it very much. Today I come to ..."
"Brother Xu, do you play games?"
“Not really fun…”
"Oh, that 'Magic World' is quite fun, let's play it together when we have time?"
"Oh, is that the game you endorsed?"
"Yes, you can upgrade to VIP with the first deposit of 6 yuan, and the equipment will be sent to your account in seconds..."
"Boss Lu, I will definitely play when I have time."
"Brother Xu, what do you think of the current film market?"
"Film Market..."
The following conversation was actually quite dry and stiff.
Xu Peng felt very suffocated.
Apart from joking with him and asking him to drink more tea, Lu Yuan changed the topic to games and movies. He made such a sharp turn that Xu Peng almost forgot what he wanted to say to Lu Yuan. It was as if Lu Yuan had taken him to Siberia.
Xu Peng discovered that Lu Yuan was indeed different from before.
In the past, when Lu Yuan chatted with me, they usually talked back and forth, but today Lu Yuan seemed to be particularly chatty, and his words were all aimless.
It's like an awkward chat.
But I couldn't say anything.
After all, they are very welcoming now, right? They provide plenty of tea, their attitude is sincere, and their expressions are respectful...
Let’s not get to the point.
"Mr. Lu... Actually, I didn't come here today to chat with you about movies and crew trivia. Well, we can discuss these things later... Today I mainly came here to invite you to our Xiangnan TV station to participate in the program "Happy Camp"..." Half an hour later, Xu Peng really couldn't stand it anymore. He finally chose to interrupt the talkative Lu Yuan and said what he actually wanted to say.
"Um... Brother Xu, you know, I've been very busy recently..." After Lu Yuanjian said this, he finally looked at Xu Peng sincerely and stopped laughing.
"Mr. Lu, I know you are very busy, but I have come to visit you twice in a row, and I am really sincere. Not only me, but even Director Xu of our Xiangnan TV Station very much hopes that you can come to our "Happy Camp" as a guest. In fact, it won't take up too much of your time..." Xu Peng was very serious.
"Brother Xu... I've never been on a show like this before. I... I don't have much talent for variety shows. If I go on, it will bring shame to our show..."
"Mr. Lu, how about this? Can you consider it? You can bring several leading actors from your crew and Director Wei to our show... our show can help you promote it..." After hesitating for a while, Xu Peng finally said his trump card.
He stayed up late last night to read a lot of information about Lu Yuan, and he finally discovered that Lu Yuan seemed to have a certain habit.
That's advertising!
This guy likes to advertise very savagely in public places...
He felt that his "Happy Camp" program could fully accept this request. After all, the program itself also has a promotional component, right?
Moreover, allowing several leading actors of the crew to perform on the stage of the base camp with Fatty Wei is itself a privilege.
It is equivalent to our entire "Happy Camp" program promoting you together.
You should come here, right?
I don't believe you can miss this opportunity...
"Thank you Brother Xu for your kindness. I am also very touched. However, this is not a question of whether to promote it or not. Moreover, our movie "Groundhog Day" has to be released on May 1st. The shooting is really tight and we really can't spare the time..." Lu Yuan looked at Xu Peng very seriously and sincerely, and he didn't seem to be moved at all.
This made Xu Peng a little confused.
You refuse even this?
Lu Yuan, you are so...
"Mr. Lu, we are friends. Friends should just speak frankly. If you have any requests for Happy Camp, and they are not excessive, we may consider agreeing to them..."
"Brother Xu, this is not a matter of asking or not. Brother Xu, how about this, I will contact you after the filming of Groundhog Day is finished? Ah, Brother Xu, the filming is about to start, I have to go and prepare... How about you..."
“…”
At this moment Xu Peng was speechless.
What do you mean?
Are you kicking people out now?
…
Xu Peng left "Remote" Entertainment.
He sighed silently.
He failed again.
Lu Yuan's attitude seemed like a lump of iron that he couldn't chew.
This guy just won't listen to any soft or hard words.
At this moment he was really at his wits' end...
Is the crew too busy?
To be honest, he really didn't believe it.
The midday sun is a little bit gentle, and within the gentleness there is a hint of dullness.
"Brother Xu, take care..."
"Ms. Wu... I'm really at a loss right now."
"What are you confused about?"
"Can you tell me how I can get Mr. Lu to come to your side?"
"Brother Xu, let me tell you the truth. President Lu is not targeting you. He is not interested in any other variety shows. For example, when Zhejiang TV invited him to be a guest on "The Voice of China", he refused the offer of 200,000 yuan for one song. No one who came to invite him saw President Lu... Your "Happy Camp" is indeed a flagship program, but our President Lu cannot just go on his variety show debut casually. Do you understand?" Wu Tingting looked at Xu Peng.
In fact, she really didn't want Xu Peng to come for nothing.
After hesitating for a long time, she decided to give Xu Peng a little hint.
As for whether he can understand it, it depends on Xu Peng.
“Is that so…”
"Um, sorry, Brother Xu."
"Ms. Wu, do you think a 300,000 yuan appearance fee is okay? Previously, any star who came to our Happy Camp did not receive an appearance fee, but considering that Mr. Lu is different from other stars, so, um, how about I ask the station to make an exception?"
"Brother Xu, it's getting late..."
"Ms. Wu, I have come to visit Mr. Lu twice. I hope to give the station a satisfactory answer this time. Although I know it is difficult, please believe me, we are sincere, and you don't want me to go back empty-handed, right? Otherwise, how about 400,000 yuan for an appearance fee?" Xu Peng seemed to have heard something, and then stared at Wu Tingting.
"Brother Xu, how about this... I'll go ask Mr. Lu for instructions. Please wait a moment. Actually, I don't want you to come here in vain again."
"Oh, okay!" Xu Peng's eyes lit up when he heard this!
There's hope.
About ten minutes later, Lu Yuan slowly walked out of the company and pretended to see Xu Peng by accident.
"Brother Xu, the weather is nice today. How about coming with me to the crew?"
He greeted me with surprise at first, then with enthusiasm.
There is no trace of PS throughout the process.
He is simply a master of acting.
"Mr. Lu, by the way, has Miss Wu told you about my sincerity?"
"Brother Xu, Wu Tingting said that you are indeed very sincere... In fact, I also feel your sincerity. To be honest, your sincerity really makes me feel bad. How about this, I will see if the crew can make time in the next two days. If they can, I will bring Director Li Qi and Director Wei to your show together."
"Really? Mr. Lu, I'm looking forward to having you as my guest! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Xu Peng's eyes lit up.
"Brother Xu, you are being too formal. Let's not talk about thank you or not. And don't call me Mr. Lu. I'm not used to it."
"Yeah, that's right! I also hit it off right away. How about this, I'm eight years older than you, so how about I call you Brother Lu?"
"Well, haven't I always called you Brother Xu?"
"Ha ha."
Xu Peng laughed.
Lu Yuan also laughed.
Everybody is brilliant.
The air was filled with strange, hypocritical laughter...
The sun is shining.
Everything is fine.
