The weather in June is getting hotter.
Although the air conditioner was on in the office, Lu Yuan still felt quite hot and a little stuffy.
Lu Yuan was very apologetic about the embarrassing situation at the press conference for the launch of "Assembly", but apologies were apologies, but what else could he do?
He also feels wronged. He didn't mean it to be like this. He is also a victim!
People will always encounter many helpless things in their lives. Lu Yuan felt helpless about this matter.
He originally wanted to tell Wei Changjun about his grievances during lunch.
But when he found out his other nickname on the Internet, he shut up.
The other nickname only has two words, but it really makes him feel annoyed.
Those two words are "Forced King".
The Internet has over-interpreted these two words, with netizens even mocking that Lu Yuan has been either pretending to be cool or on his way to pretending to be cool every day since his debut a year ago...
Lu Yuan strongly disagreed!
Am I the kind of person who pretends to be cool?
Damn it!
He felt even more helpless!
But he couldn't tell Wei Changjun about this helplessness. After all, if he asked this, Wei Changjun would definitely say that Lu Yuan was showing off and he had backfired.
He suddenly remembered a sentence...
He felt that he had to endure the handsomeness and sadness that he shouldn't have to endure at his age...
“Pah.”
Just as Lu Yuan was feeling self-reflection in the office, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Boss Lu, Shen Zhiwei's album sample is already in the company. You can listen to it when you have time... If there is no problem, I will contact the manufacturer and the publisher to rush to produce this batch of albums, and try to release it a few days before Zhou Xiaofeng's "Stubborn" album is released to avoid the limelight..."
"Yeah, okay, put it down."
"Mr. Lu, Chief Editor Yang will come to our company this afternoon. She wants to talk to you about the book signing for The Legend of Wukong."
"Autograph session? They didn't mention that..."
"Didn't we talk about sales issues before?"
"Yes, it is indeed a sales promotion issue. This autograph session is also part of the promotion..."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"Well, it's about tomorrow's driver's license theory test, Mr. Lu..."
"What? The driving theory test tomorrow?"
"Yeah, what's wrong, Mr. Lu?" Wu Tingting felt a little strange after seeing Lu Yuan's confused expression.
"It's okay." Lu Yuan was indeed confused. He hadn't even read much of the theoretical books on getting a driver's license.
Taking the exam tomorrow?
How do you want him to take the test and what do you want him to use?
How about reading all night or going to the temple to pray for a lucky divination and be superstitious?
Lu Yuan was very conflicted...
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's up?"
"There has been a lot of discussion online about our company's new movie. I want to ask, what is our new movie about?" Wu Tingting was quite curious about Lu Yuan.
In fact, she had no idea what was going on in her boss's mind.
After the completion of "Groundhog", the company should have been preparing for a new movie, but there has been no news about any new movies.
That's bad.
"Don't be impatient, take your time... um, by the way, Wu Tingting?"
Lu Yuan is indeed not in a hurry for the new movie.
He just wanted to have a good rest. Anyway, he didn't want to do anything in July...
Well, anyway, let’s talk about the new movie in August.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lu?"
"Why do I feel like you've lost some weight? Have you lost weight?"
"Um... Mr. Lu, I go to the gym every day. Well, I have indeed lost five kilograms in these days..." Wu Tingting showed a satisfied smile.
"Oh... okay." Lu Yuan nodded without asking any more questions.
"Boss Lu, there is one more thing. The 'remote' game platform has been initially constructed, and small games like Landlord and Chess are almost ready. Boss Liu asked me to ask you when the game platform will be available for internal testing..."
"Then let's do it in the next two days... I will call Brother Liu in the evening. If it's about the same, I will promote it on Weibo in the evening..."
"Yeah, okay."
"Anything else?"
"There are quite a lot of others..." Wu Tingting took out a thick little notebook.
"so much?"
"Yes...some invite you to sing, some invite you to participate in variety shows, some invite you to make a movie, some invite you to make a TV series, and some want to do an exclusive interview with you..." Wu Tingting looked at the small notebook, and then listed a series of invitations one after another.
"Anything else besides this?"
“Not for now.”
"Oh...just turn them all down." Lu Yuan felt a headache.
"Oh, okay. Mr. Lu, if there is nothing else, I will go out first?"
"Well, okay..."
After Wu Tingting left, Lu Yuan was overwhelmed.
It will take at most one month!
I will be relieved if I can just endure for another month and sort out everything.
But……
What exactly does this faint feeling of self-comforting sadness mean?
At this moment, he felt more and more that he had been trapped in this circle and could not extricate himself...
He even began to feel that the days of being a mediocre person were getting further and further away from him.
This day...
When will it end?
I do bear the pressure that I shouldn't bear at this age, and I do bear the handsomeness that I shouldn't bear at this age.
Why……
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Yuan sighed and shook his head.
He opened Shen Zhiwei's album CD, put it into the computer and listened to it, song by song.
When hearing "Lonely Northern Hemisphere", Lu Yuan felt that Shen Zhiwei really sang out the flavor in his memory.
Good.
He nodded and said that the album was good and there would be no problem with its distribution.
After listening to the album, he called Wu Tingting, meaning that the album was ready, and then Lu Yuan took out the driver's license book from the drawer and started reading it...
although……
I don’t know why Lu Yuan’s eyelids started drooping as soon as he saw this book, and he felt very sleepy.
…
In the afternoon, Yang Susu came.
Yang Susu came to "Remote" Entertainment with a publicity plan and talked about publicity issues with Lu Yuan.
Yang Susu originally thought that Lu Yuan was a very difficult person to deal with. After all, Lu Yuan's attitude when signing the copy of "The Legend of Sun Wukong" was very frustrating. Yang Susu was also prepared to haggle with Lu Yuan over the publicity issue this time.
But when I really started chatting with Lu Yuan...
"Mr. Lu, do you think it's okay for me to promote it this way?"
"Yes, that's fine, no problem at all..."
"What about the Xinhua Bookstore? That way..."
"No problem, no problem..."
"My plan is this..."
"No problem, Chief Editor Yang has the final say..."
“…”
This is the conversation between Lu Yuan and Yang Susu.
Yang Susu found that Lu Yuan did not refute him at all, and even succeeded in making Yang Susu doubt her life...
No matter how Yang Susu suggested to promote it, Lu Yuan did not refuse, and even agreed with a smile on his face. It was actually more successful than those ordinary stars publishing those autobiographies...
Except for the fact that Lu Yuan forcibly reduced the number of books from 2,000 to 1,000 at the book signing event, everything else was normal.
Yang Susu was very puzzled.
She even suspected for a moment that the person sitting in front of her was not Lu Yuan, but someone else...
The promotional plan that was originally planned to be discussed with Lu Yuan for three hours was actually completed in just half an hour.
This style of painting is not right!
Isn’t Lu Yuan famous for being difficult to deal with in the circle?
Yang Susu was at a loss.
"Editor-in-Chief Yang, is everything else alright?"
"Mr. Lu...are you free on June 13th?"
"available."
"Boss Lu, will you cooperate with everything I say? Do you have any objections?"
"Editor-in-Chief Yang is so meticulous and thoughtful. I really admire him. I have no objection..."
"You...will cooperate, right? Is that okay?"
"No problem, there's absolutely no problem... Wait, Editor-in-Chief Yang, why are you looking at me like that? Am I a difficult person?" Lu Yuan was speechless when he saw Yang Susu's face, which looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"No, if you're fine, I'll leave first..."
"Yeah, okay."
"Mr. Lu...are you sure you will cooperate with our promotion? You don't have any objections to my promotion plan?" Yang Susu still felt weird in her heart.
"Editor-in-Chief Yang...what do you want to say? Am I the kind of person who will cause trouble if I don't cooperate?" Lu Yuan was so upset.
What does it mean that you look so worried?
Am I that worrying?
Is my credit so bad?
Besides, no matter how you promote it, it’s your money. I don’t have to pay a penny, so what opinion do I have?
I have absolutely no objection!
"It's okay." Yang Susu nodded and finally closed the door, leaving Lu Yuan's office with a strange expression.
"..." Lu Yuan felt a little upset.
…
In the evening, Liu sent a simulation sample of the "remote" platform to Lu Yuan's email.
After logging into his email, Lu Yuan opened the mockup and took a look. Finally, he felt that there was no major problem and replied to Liu Da that he could conduct an internal test.
Liu responded with an OK gesture and sent the internal testing activities to Lu Yuan for review.
After Lu Yuan felt that the problem was not serious, he agreed to confirm with Liu about some details such as the launch date of the "Remote" platform.
When these things were over, Lu Yuan posted an advertisement on Weibo as usual...
"Good news, good news, China's first online gaming platform is now online..."
"After nearly a year of research and development, and 365 days and nights of hard work, our 'Remote' game company finally launched its own game platform, which can accommodate... On June 14, you will receive VIP membership when you register, and happy beans when you log in. The first recharge is 6 yuan, which will make you have a blast..."
“…”
Although there are some untrue contents in the advertisement, but...
This is normal, isn't it?
Lu Yuan felt that he was much better than those unscrupulous tabloids that wrote random headlines!
But……
When Lu Yuan thought that the advertising intensity this time would be the same as before, he did not expect that the comments under his Weibo post were all unrelated to the game, and not even one person was paying attention to Lu Yuan's game!
"Er Gouzi...your fans are calling on you to make a movie!"
"Er Gouzi, we want to watch your movie. Can you please stop doing your job and make a good movie?"
"Yeah, don't do anything fancy, okay? We're just waiting for your movie..."
"Movies, movies, we want movies. If you don't talk about movies, we won't play your games! Boycott games!"
"Yes, boycott the game, boycott the game!"
"Where's the movie? We are indeed waiting for you to advertise, but we are not waiting for you to advertise this game, asshole!"
"Movies, we want to watch a movie..."
“…”
Lu Yuan was speechless after seeing the comments below all protesting against the game starting with me...
He shook his head and turned off the computer.
Who cares.
But at this moment...
"Beep Beep"
His cell phone rang.
"Xiao Lu...what is your new movie about? Tell me the whole story..." This was Zhang Tong's first sentence.
“…”
After finishing his phone conversation with Zhang Tong, Lu Yuan’s phone rang again.
"A Yuan...please give me some information about the new movie, let me reveal the whole thing..." Zhou Shuai called.
“…”
“Beep, beep, beep.”
"What's the new movie? A Yuan..." "Happy Camp" planner Xu Peng also came to join in the fun.
“…”
"Xiao Lu, what is your movie about? Do you need any actors? My school has some outstanding actors..." Zheng Jianguo called.
“…”
"Ayuan, I want to buy an advertising space for your new movie. By the way, when will your movie be broadcast?" Chen Cong's voice was excited.
“…”
…
the next day……
Lu Yuan saw a large group of reporters surrounding the entrance of his company.
"Mr. Lu...when will your movie be shot?"
"Mr. Lu, can you talk about the movie?"
"Mr. Lu?"
“…”
Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
He really wants to be a salted fish.
But……
Why do people all over the world want him to make a movie?
In the end, he had no choice but to post an article on Weibo.
"Don't ask me anymore. My new movie is called 'A Chinese Odyssey'... I can't reveal the investment yet, but it's definitely a big one!"
…
When Lu Yuan released the name of the new movie...
moment.
Weibo exploded.
Tieba exploded!
The headlines also exploded!
At the same time, the remote company's phone was flooded with calls.
In addition to those reporters, there is also a group of people who are ready to invest in advertising space in the new movie just like Chen Cong...
right!
Investors are going crazy!
Big investment movie!
What is the concept?
What is this signal?
This might be a movie that will earn hundreds of millions!
What is the most valuable thing in a movie worth hundreds of millions?
Nothing else!
It's an advertising space!
Yes!
