"???"

"Am I seeing right? It's an Oscar? Er Gouzi was nominated for the Oscar for Best Song Written for a Film or TV Series?"

"Wait a minute! Is this true? Er Gouzi is... he's really showing off!"

"He went to the American Oscars to show off? This... this is... this is crazy, is this fake news?"

"It's true. However, if I'm not mistaken, Er Gouzi is one of the few Chinese in China who has been nominated for an Oscar in recent years, right?"

"No, Chen An has also been nominated for the Best Song for a Film or TV Series Oscar... and so have several Chinese directors. Wait, I remember, Liu Fangfei and the others have also been to the Oscars, right?"

"You are wrong. Chen An is not a real Chinese. Chen An is a Chinese American! Chinese American is completely different from Chinese nationality! Moreover, those so-called Chinese international actresses who attended the Oscars before were basically just using their connections to get on the red carpet. They walked in and out to show their presence internationally. After showing their presence, they came back dejected. After they came back, although they said they had attended the Oscars, they were actually the type who stood at the door and watched... Although several Chinese directors have been nominated for Oscars, none of them have actually won the award in recent years... After all... This is no longer the era of martial arts films..."

"Previously, the awards were mostly won by martial arts movies. Wait! Damn, so, after the billion-dollar box office movie, if Er Gouzi can win an Oscar, does that mean that Er Gouzi has broken the record that Chinese people who participated in the Oscars can only win the Martial Arts Director Award?"

"Yes! It's broken! In fact, being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song Written for a TV Series is breaking this record. No one in China has been able to win this award yet... Previously, the Americans had won all these awards themselves!"

"Fuck! My Er Gouzi is awesome! He brought glory to the country!"

On Weibo.

The news that Lu Yuan was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song Written for a TV series has spread!

As this piece of news spread, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was in an uproar!

Oscar!

What kind of place is this?

This is a world-class movie theater!

How many Chinese artists wouldn't even dare to dream of this place?

It’s not like there aren’t any Chinese people participating in the Oscars. If you count, there are at least two or three Chinese people who have been nominated for awards…

but……

These were the eras of Chinese martial arts films.

And most of the awards were consolation prizes like action director...

Ever since the decline of martial arts films, Chinese films don’t even have a consolation prize.

But now…

Lu Yuan!

Got nominated for an award.

And it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Song Written For A TV Series!

this……

There is no doubt that it broke a record!

If, at the Oscars, he won the Oscar for Best Song, then Lu Yuan...

That's really awesome!

Under such circumstances, how could the entire Chinese entertainment industry not be shaken?

It's a huge earthquake, okay?

…

January 28th.

Lu Yuan sat silently on the plane looking at the white clouds outside.

Hats, glasses, masks.

Lu Yuan wears all three-piece suits that celebrities wear.

Of course Lu Yuan did not sit in first class but in economy class.

Many people were trying to find out about Lu Yuan, and there were also a large number of reporters paying attention to Lu Yuan's trip to the United States.

But in reality…

They didn't know that Lu Yuan had boarded this ordinary plane, and they didn't know that Lu Yuan didn't have an assistant, an agent, or even anyone around him...

Lu Yuan knew very well that the most dangerous place was the safest place.

No one would have thought that Lu Yuan, a big star, would be squeezed in the economy class like ordinary people, and sit alone like this.

They were focusing on another plane!

Lu Yuan released many smoke bombs...

What Wu Tingting, what bodyguard, what assistant...

It's all over!

All the reporters focused on that plane.

certainly……

The person sitting on the other big plane that they were paying attention to was not Lu Yuan, but Zhou Shuai, who was carrying a camera and preparing to run to the Oscar venue to do a live broadcast!

This is a psychological misunderstanding that has existed since ancient times.

Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t think about these things.

He fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he felt like he had no choice but to do what he wanted in the world.

He realized one thing.

That is, he was hanging around on the headlines all day long. At first, it seemed like a lot of traffic and glittering money, which was a good thing. However, after the incident with Fatty Wei's "You, My Deskmate", Lu Yuan suddenly realized that his popularity had become an obstacle to making money.

Yes!

It's an obstacle!

The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt, and the more he felt that this was wrong!

If I hadn't bombarded the headlines every day this month, and "My Deskmate" had stayed on the headlines for two days, then the box office of "My Deskmate" would definitely be tens of millions higher...

And now?

Now the entire entertainment industry seems to be paying attention to him and his "A Chinese Odyssey"...

Focusing on his Oscar journey.

Can "A Chinese Odyssey" create benefits for Lu Yuan now?

have!

But after the painting is completed, the benefits are actually very little.

So what’s the point of attracting so much attention?

A trip to the Oscars?

So what if I won this award?

"Assembly" is slightly better, at least there are occasional official recommendations, but "You Are the One" is terrible.

Although Lu Yuan recommended "My Deskmate" on Weibo and called on everyone to watch "My Deskmate", Lu Yuan found that the content these fans paid attention to was a bit biased...

Not only did these people not watch "My Deskmate", but they all asked Lu Yuan to tell them who his secret crush was, what kind of female celebrities the celebrities in the entertainment industry liked the most, and whether he had a relationship with Xu Cancan, the head of the Joaquin family...

Then a few minutes later, Weibo became a hot search topic discussing who Lu Yuan's first love was, and each person described it with detail, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. It was so real that Lu Yuan began to doubt his life.

After seeing these messy rumors, Lu Yuan didn't know what to say.

Who was my first love?

I want to know too!

But……

I don’t know!

He suddenly realized that his fans were not very interested in movies, but were quite concerned about his love life and scandals.

Lu Yuan felt helpless.

He also realized that with his current terrifying popularity in China, if he casually did something ordinary, he would be misunderstood. At the same time, if he said something that he thought was clear and honest, it would be ridiculed as pretentious, and then somehow it would become a different version and be on the headlines...

This heat is horrible!

Crush everything!

"Assembly" is an example.

Wei Changjun spent a lot of money on publicity. The production company was promoting it, and various major teams were promoting it. At the same time, even relevant departments occasionally posted on Weibo to support "Assembly".

result……

The popularity of this movie is not as high as that of Lu Yuan’s interview in which he said “I never do anything fancy”!

this……

Who can you go to for justice?

Everyone seemed to enjoy teasing him, and at the same time seemed to hope that Lu Yuan could act more pretentious like this.

Lu Yuan has a sense of crisis!

Yes!

Sense of crisis.

His company now has a team under it. No matter how awesome or powerful an individual is, can he make money faster than a team?

Let you get as many movies as you want and make as many headlines as you want.

What's the use?

He can be very popular and awesome, but he can’t dominate the headlines all day and drag down the popularity of his own team!

"call!"

After learning from the painful experience, Lu Yuan made a decision!

After returning home from the Oscars, I must keep a low profile!

right!

You must keep a low profile!

I!

There will definitely be no headlines in the next few months!

Therefore, it is right to reject the endorsement application of "Honglan"!

There is absolutely no problem.

Why?

You accepted the image endorsement, so the company must use your image for advertising? And seeing what "Honglan" meant, he wanted to promote it everywhere, and even wanted to change the name of "Honglan" to "Luyan"!

After they have released wave after wave of advertisements, and then encountered some messy and inexplicable hype scandals, wouldn't the popularity increase again?

The company is now at an important stage of development, so I have to give way to others, right?

Otherwise, how can other people in the company get ahead?

so……

Keep a low profile!

Really, low-key!

Refuse to accept any endorsements, refuse to accept anything!

right!

etc!

That’s not right either!

If I keep a low profile, then what will happen to the scripts in my mind and the songs I will write in the future?

That’s right!

eleven!

Use the vest of Eleven.

…

"???"

"What's going on? We've already promised to restore the previous taste, why are you still refusing?"

"What's the meaning?"

After hearing his assistant Xiao Liu's report to him that Lu Yuan had rejected Honglan's image invitation again, Mr. Zheng from "Honglan" company was a little confused.

Not enough advertising money?

Nonsense, they have already given 30 million RMB in advertising fees, how can it not be enough? They are even prepared to give part of their shares to Lu Yuan, and even drafted a plan to change the name of "Honglan"...

You say it's not sincere enough?

Since the past two months, I have been contacting "Remote" Entertainment every now and then, saying all kinds of nice things to them, and even visiting them in person twice. Isn't this sincerity enough?

Not high enough quality?

In the past, the quality of "Honglan" may not be very high, and it was mainly in the middle and low grades. But now "Honglan" has made adjustments on the basis, and has launched several high-end cigarettes. Moreover, these cigarettes have a very good reputation among the upper class, and the export sales are also quite good. Many international piano celebrities will smoke a Honglan!

Can this be considered as not doing it in a classy way?

so……

President Zheng couldn't understand why Lu Yuan kept rejecting their "Honglan" requests?

Of course, this is not an endorsement. Tobacco is not something that can be endorsed. President Zheng just wants Lu Yuan to authorize him to use his brand, allowing them to use the promotional method of Lu Yuan smoking their cigarettes...

This doesn't seem to be a problem, right?

so……

Why is this?

…

Got off the plane.

Lu Yuan followed the crowd out of the airport.

Outside the airport, Forrest was already waiting for Lu Yuan in his car.

"Morning, boss."

"Well, Forrest, good morning to you too."

"Boss, get in the car."

"OK!"

When Lu Yuan got into the car, Forrest silently looked back at Lu Yuan.

He suddenly felt confused.

"boss……"

"What's wrong?"

"You have been nominated for Oscars in both roles. What should you do at the awards ceremony?"

“No prize for that.”

“What if I win the prize?”

"ah?"

"Are you planning to reveal your identity as Eleven?"

"Of course not..."

"Then you..." Forrest was suddenly stunned.

"It's okay, a friend of mine will wear a mask." Lu Yuan suddenly smiled.

He had previously been thinking about how to get Zhou Shuai into the Oscars and get some first-hand news or something.

But now…

He suddenly found a way!

Wouldn’t it be better to let Zhou Shuai wear a mask and sit in the “Eleven” position?

Perfect!

Thinking about how Zhou Shuai was interviewing these Oscar stars unscrupulously with a camera in hand below the audience seats without saying a word, he was even more excited than those genuine reporters!

So this wave...

What a huge profit!
