The Internet has been in chaos these past two days. Directors, stars, and some Internet celebrities have taken the opportunity to follow this trend and create a lot of hot spots.

But the artists under Joaquin are exceptionally quiet...

Even Wei Lai, who loves to jump on the bandwagon and post all kinds of fancy Weibo posts, has been quiet these days.

Why?

Haha, do you even need to ask? Joaquin is still at the center of the controversy over his box office theft, and his Weibo account has been hacked like crazy.

At this time, I am taking advantage of Lu Yuan's popularity and following the trend...

Do you think Joaquin is not attractive enough?

Of course, Lu Yuan's verbal fight made Xu Cancan feel relieved.

Although there are still people cursing Joaquin on the Internet, most of the attention is focused on the quarrels in the fan circle and Lu Yuan’s new movie "The Legend of 1900"...

Under such circumstances, there are indeed fewer verbal battles and negative public opinions against Joaquin.

Xu Cancan felt inexplicably grateful to Lu Yuan, but then this gratitude turned into helplessness.

Yes.

have no choice.

Just at this moment, her phone rang. She looked at the number and saw that it was her mother calling.

She shook her head.

"mom……"

"Cancan...I want to tell you something."

"Mom, what are you going to do again..."

"This time it's not a big deal. Your cousin called me and said that the boy will be there tomorrow."

“Who is that person!”

"Your cousin didn't tell you. He said he wanted to give you a surprise. However, you have to trust your cousin's judgment. After all, he has been in the industry for so many years..."

“Haha… I’m not going!”

"obedient."

"No, let someone else go."

"this……"

Xu Cancan hung up the phone and shook her head.

cousin?

She felt uncomfortable whenever she thought of that old cousin.

He is old enough to be my grandfather, but I still have to call him cousin.

This kind of seniority...

Very messy.

Besides, how good can the person introduced by this cousin be?

Greasy? A fat belly? Or the so-called embroidered pillow?

Xu Cancan closed her eyes. She thought this was really ridiculous.

"Boom boom boom."

"Come in……"

"Mr. Xu..."

"Oh, it's Director Shen, what's wrong?"

"The box office of Dream Traveler has come out in the past two days..."

"How many?"

"Fifteen million, fourteen million..."

"oh."

After being stripped of its authenticity, the real box office of "Dream Travelers" came out.

Xu Cancan was more or less disappointed after hearing this number.

certainly……

It has been about half a month and now it still maintains a daily box office of more than 10 million. This "Dream Travelers" cannot be considered bad. If the box office continues to perform well, it will have no problem breaking 600 million in the future.

With an investment of over 100 million, a box office of 600 million is actually quite a profit.

only……

The box office didn’t break the record after all, it’s still…

Not surprising enough?

"How's it going overseas?"

"Overseas... it's not very ideal. The total box office just broke 8 million."

"Eight million... not bad, at least better than those movies that lose money... Have you been sleeping well recently?"

"Ah... not bad..."

"Do you want to see a doctor?"

"No, it's okay..."

"oh."

Xu Cancan suddenly looked at Shen Lianjie.

When she looked carefully, she was a little surprised.

It was really hard for her to connect the current Shen Lianjie with the Shen Lianjie she saw when she first joined the company.

At this moment, Shen Lianjie looked extremely haggard. He was a handsome director, but now his eyes were full of vicissitudes. Not only were his dark circles very heavy, but there was even a trace of stubble on his chin...

It's obvious that he's not having a good time these days.

"Then Mr. Xu, I'll go down first..."

"Well, how is the box office of A Chinese Odyssey?"

"A Chinese Odyssey, the number of tickets sold in the past two days is 29 million..."

"It didn't slide?"

"It's declined a bit, but the decline is very small, only about a hundred..."

"Go and have a rest first. Take a good vacation for the next few days. Our box office is pretty good."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Shen Lianjie nodded, then turned and left, seeming a little distraught.

When Xu Cancan saw Shen Lianjie talking about "A Chinese Odyssey", he obviously lowered his head, and his eyes looked even more vicissitudes and drier.

Obviously, he was hit hard by "A Chinese Odyssey".

In fact, he did.

One billion...

Now it has become 600 million...

This sense of gap is really too big.

Even when the outcome was finally decided, he was still in an indescribable state of insomnia.

He dreams every day.

But, it's a nightmare.

Whenever he closed his eyes, he would think of "A Chinese Odyssey"...

Then……

Behind "A Chinese Odyssey" is Lu Yuan's silly smiling face.

"Director Shen... I think we can be friends, what do you think?"

Whenever this sentence rings...

Shen Lianjie would be awakened by the nightmare in an instant.

Then……

Covered in cold sweat.

"Oh, right..."

"Is there anything else, Mr. Xu?"

"I know a psychology expert. Let me introduce him to you."

"good."

"This is her business card, please contact her..."

"good."

Shen Lianjie took the business card and took a look at it.

Um?

That psychiatrist’s surname is also Shen?

My name is Shen Fangfang...

…

CCTV Building.

When Lu Yuan walked into the CCTV building for the second time, he looked quite familiar with the place.

Documentary boss Zhou Xianzu enthusiastically made tea to entertain Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan didn't know why he looked at the brand of tea...

He thought the brand looked familiar.

Forehead.

wrong!

Although the brand looks familiar, the name seems to be different.

It's West Lake Longjing, not West Lake Youjing...

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"What's wrong? Is it that the tea tastes wrong or is it not authentic enough?" Zhou Xianzu was very surprised when he saw Lu Yuan shaking his head.

"No...very good."

"Well, that's good."

“It’s delicious.”

After taking a sip, Lu Yuan felt a refreshing fragrance wafting in his throat, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable. This authentic West Lake Longjing was different from the unknown brands he had drunk before, and even different from the taste of the one Wang Jinxue brought him before.

seem……

Is Zhou Xianzu's Longjing tea more fragrant? 》

"By the way, Uncle Zhou, how much is this West Lake Longjing tea?"

"About 10,000 yuan, not expensive...not as good as Da Hong Pao."

“…”

Ten thousand yuan...

After hearing the number of ten thousand yuan, Lu Yuan was deeply shocked.

After being shocked, Lu Yuan gave up the idea of ​​buying West Lake Longjing back to his own company.

There is no harm without comparison.

He had thought that the Pu'er tea purchased by the company a few days ago was quite precious, but now...

He suddenly felt that the Pu'er tea in his company, which cost about 100 yuan per ounce, was pretty good.

At least……

Not expensive?

"Oh, by the way, Xiao Lu..."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"Didn't I tell you before? From now on, you should call me Brother Zhou instead of Uncle Zhou. It's too old..."

"..." Lu Yuan looked up at Zhou Xianzu's wrinkles, then looked at his expression.

He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was extremely shameless.

"Hehe...my cousin was supposed to come over today, but she was busy with something. Actually, I've always been optimistic about you and my cousin..."

"No, no, no, Zhou...Brother Zhou, I have a girlfriend now, and she's a very nice girl."

"You have a girlfriend?"

"yes."

"Oh, that's really a pity. In fact, I have always felt that you and my cousin are a perfect match... By the way, how about this, I show you a photo of my cousin? Maybe you will be surprised..."

"No, no, no... I better not have a surprise. I can't let my girlfriend down. By the way, Brother Zhou... um, can we start recording?" After seeing the wrinkles on Zhou Xianzu's face, how could Lu Yuan dare to continue chatting with him?

Even if Lu Yuan couldn't find a girlfriend, he wouldn't look for a woman who didn't have to struggle for thirty years...

He really...

This is not a good taste.

"Haha, okay, I'll call them. Don't you really want to consider it? Don't think too much. My cousin is very beautiful..."

“No, no, no…”

…

The CCTV building gave Lu Yuan a scare.

In other words, after seeing Zhou Xianzu, Lu Yuan felt even more frightened.

Especially Zhou Xianzu's pimp-like expression really gave Lu Yuan goosebumps.

Not to mention this cousin’s age, even if she was young, it would still make people nervous, right?

He imagined many scenes that he couldn't accept.

Every scene is filled with tears.

When he arrived at the recording studio, Lu Yuan still had a lingering psychological shadow in his heart.

"Can we start now?"

"Wait a moment..."

"good!"

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and tried to regain his calm state.

About a minute later, when Lu Yuan finally got rid of all the mess in his mind, he finally calmed down.

Then he opened his eyes and followed the staff and made an OK gesture.

only……

When the recording started, Lu Yuan found that he could no longer get into the same state as before.

It doesn't feel right!

"Teacher Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"fine……"

"So... it's starting?"

"good!"

Lu Yuan adjusted himself with his breathing, recalled the plot of "A Bite of China" in his original world in his mind, and tried hard to imitate it.

But……

Very strange.

It tastes so wrong.

He simply couldn't immerse himself in his previous state.

Then……

He began to hypnotize himself, trying to find that feeling.

But something was getting wrong.

When Lu Yuan used self-hypnosis before, the effect was very good and everything seemed familiar to him, but this time.

He found that he was completely unable to hypnotize himself. Instead, the more he hypnotized himself, the more awake he became.

Under this situation, although Lu Yuan's voice was still the same as before, some of the staff watching had a strange feeling.

For some reason, they found that Lu Yuan's voice didn't seem to be the same as before...

It makes me hungry.

About two hours later, Lu Yuan finished reading a script and walked out of the recording studio.

He was a little confused.

What exactly happened?

His hypnosis skills were completely useless to him and had completely failed.

What's going on?

"Xiao Lu, are you okay?"

"fine……"

"Oh, it's a good recording, don't take it to heart."

"Um."

Lu Yuan saw a hint of disappointment in Zhou Xianzu's expression.

The consolation alone shows that the effect of this recording is not as good as before.

…

The day passed quickly.

Although the staff and Zhou Xianzu didn't say anything, Lu Yuan knew that the recording effect of his recording today was really bad.

He rubbed his eyes and tried to sing a song in front of the mirror in the hotel...

The song is still the same song.

but……

He couldn't find the feeling.

Although there is affection, there is no feeling...

No matter what methods he used to hypnotize himself or brainwash himself, Lu Yuan found that it was useless.

He still felt that everything was weird...

I……

My hypnosis isn't working?

this……

what do I do?

Lu Yuan suddenly felt nervous...

Then……

etc……

like……

Does she live in Yanjing?

Why don't you ask her?

After hesitating for a while, he finally took out his cell phone.

I opened a number...
