evening.

As the sun sets, the cold outside in the street becomes even stronger.

Of course, the conference room was still warm.

The air conditioning was very comfortable.

Asian singing queen Zhou Xiaoxia silently took a sip of coffee, and then looked at the world-class dance king and global pop king Michael Weiss with a slightly complicated look...

Zhou Xiaoxia felt that everything she had was turned upside down.

Everything seems like a dream.

Since he came in, McVis has been sitting obediently in the corner of the conference room, waiting patiently. Although everyone went to greet him and were very excited when he came in, he still refused to sit at the conference table and chose to sit in the corner.

He always means one thing.

That means you guys go ahead and do your work. I can wait. It’s nothing important for me to do, so don’t worry about me.

Then……

He sat there in silence from beginning to end, and never showed the airs that a world pop king should have.

Zhou Xiaoxia felt some feelings deep in her heart.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn't have been able to connect the honest American in front of her with the king on the stage who could call the wind and rain and make people scream.

Perhaps, it is because of this good character that he can stand at the top of the world?

but……

This young man Lu Yuan is really scary.

He actually...

There is such a terrifying energy!

Was it so terrifying that even McVis came secretly to find him?

Zhou Xiaoxia suddenly remembered the headlines about Lu Yuan challenging the world-class dancing king Michael Weiss.

She understands!

Maybe, all this is hype, a joke Lu Yuan is playing on everyone.

Yes, the connection is hype!

Then, Zhou Xiaoxia looked at Lu Yuan again.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was discussing some details of the program "I Want to Be on the Spring Festival Gala" with Li Mingrui with saliva flying.

All right……

This is not negotiable...

Rather than a discussion, it would be more accurate to say that Lu Yuan was the only one talking, while Li Mingrui and Chen Bangshun were taking notes. Even if they interrupted, it was only to raise some questions.

It was as if Li Mingrui, Chen Bangshun and others were stunned by what Lu Yuan said, just like staff members waiting to be assigned work.

Zhou Xiaoxia had never seen such a scene before.

How could a figure of Michael Weiss's caliber and a heavyweight Chinese director like Li Mingrui actually have a situation where no one would believe what he said?

"Director Li... huh, the specific program planning is like this. As for the lighting, I don't understand much, but there will definitely be gimmicks. As for the planning of this year's Spring Festival Gala, I think we can add more magic programs. Oh, and some special effects, yes, special effects!" When Lu Yuan was halfway through his speech, he suddenly had an idea, and a very constructive idea emerged from deep in his heart.

"Stage special effects? What does that mean? Can you tell me more about it?" Li Mingrui and others were stunned.

For a moment they didn't understand what Lu Yuan meant.

"Director Li, aren't there a lot of special effects in War Blood 3?"

"Wait, Xiao Lu, you mean to project the lighting effects from movies..."

"right!"

"This... I've never tried this before. By the way, tell me what specific special effects you want!"

"What does our China represent? Totem?"

"Long, what's wrong?"

"Then let's make a dragon special effect. Of course, ink and wash special effects are also acceptable..." Lu Yuan showed an even deeper smile.

"Xiao Lu, there is no problem with the special effects, but which special effects company should we use? If we use a Hollywood special effects company, the cost will definitely not be cheap. Domestic special effects companies are also... " Li Mingrui said halfway and then looked at Lu Yuan's smile.

He suddenly felt that Lu Yuan's smile was strange.

However, he didn't know how to describe this strangeness.

"Director Li... just use your "Blood War 3" special effects company. The special effects produced by this special effects company are all very good!"

"That 'Industrial Electric Demon'?" Li Mingrui frowned.

"right!"

"Xiao Lu, your proposal and idea are very good, but I'm afraid that the funding is not enough... If we really want to achieve what you said, the projection special effects will definitely be very expensive... We didn't have this kind of funding before... I guess it will be difficult to approve it." Li Mingrui was attracted by Lu Yuan's special effects idea, but then shook his head.

"What if we put aside the operating expenses and only use the cost to help?" Lu Yuan looked at Li Mingrui again calmly.

"If that's the case, I can still consider it. Um... No, wait, Xiao Lu! This 'Industrial Electric Magic' can't be yours... Could this company be you..." When Li Mingrui saw Lu Yuan's weird expression, as if he was in control of everything, and thought about the sudden call to him to recommend a special effects company for "War Blood 3"...

Li Mingrui suddenly understood!

He suddenly understood the meaning of Lu Yuan's smile.

This person...

Are you just recommending your own company?

"Haha, Director Li, in short, the cost will be kept within a controllable range as much as possible..." Lu Yuan laughed again, and his smile was like that of an old fox.

"Xiao Lu, what benefit do you want?"

“Can I have an ad space?”

"You are crazy, advertising on the Spring Festival Gala, what kind of occasion is the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Ahem, ahem, it's not advertising, it's advertising space... ahem, ahem... haven't there been advertising spaces in previous years? For example, some things outside the CCTV building..."

"What exactly do you mean?"

"Just some simple places, for example, outside the Spring Festival Gala venue, um, the trash can outside the CCTV building, or the company 'Industrial Electric Magic' written in the 'Special Effects' company on the Spring Festival Gala program... or the trademarks on the self-service public welfare mineral water bottles outside... For example, the napkins in the bathroom, cough, cough, hand sanitizer..."

“…”

“…”

Mineral water, trash can, napkins, hand sanitizer?

This person...

Any other ideas?

Why do you keep thinking about these things?

Can't you be a little more promising?

You are a world-class celebrity, why are you always thinking about advertising?

Li Mingrui's expression at this moment is very interesting.

"Director Li? I promise that I won't affect the audience's senses... I won't turn the Spring Festival Gala into a hodgepodge of advertisements. Under the camera, you will definitely not see my advertisements..."

"Xiao Lu, I can promise you these, but you have to promise me that you must perform a show in this year's Spring Festival Gala..."

Put some appropriate advertising outside the venue...

Well, this is not a big problem.

As long as you don't mess around inside the venue, it'll be fine.

after all……

Daring to advertise on the Spring Festival Gala, it simply means you are tired of living.

"Can't Mr. Zhao Bengang's skits be used for two sessions? Selling crutches, selling bicycles..."

"That was last year, not this year... Xiao Lu, I can let you run the Spring Festival Gala commercial. Of course, I also hope you can go on stage. After all, you can't take all the credit, right?"

“…”

“…”

Zhou Xiaoxia watched Lu Yuan and Li Mingrui interacting with each other.

Somehow I felt like the two were bargaining.

and……

It feels like a vegetable market.

One person said that he had to go home for the Spring Festival Gala this year, saying that he hadn't been home for the Spring Festival Gala for three years, while the other person used the idea of ​​sacrificing the self for the sake of everyone, and criticized Lu Yuan for not having a sense of ownership...

In short, Director Li Mingrui won the bargaining in the end.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly after seeing Li Mingrui agreed to place several other advertising spots.

I looked like I had lost out.

Li Mingrui stood up with a laugh, looked at the time, and finally got up to say goodbye with Liu Bangshun and others.

Naturally, Lu Yuan pretended to be nice and warmly invited them to have dinner with him, and even said that he would cook for them enthusiastically, but deep down in his heart he wished they would just get out of here.

Have a meal?

Forget it.

At this moment, Li Mingrui's mind is full of the Spring Festival Gala, so how can he eat?

Besides...

Can you eat Lu Yuan’s food?

Lu Yuan is good in everything else, but his cooking skills...

Cough, cough, Li Mingrui was very worried. Even though there were rumors that Lu Yuan's cooking skills had improved a lot, Li Mingrui would not eat it.

and……

He suddenly realized that Lu Yuan's words about cooking the food himself were simply an order to leave.

In short, after greeting McIlroy very warmly and solemnly hoping that McIlroy could come to CCTV as a guest if possible, Li Mingrui asked his assistant to carry the luggage and left happily.

In short, when he left, he looked like he had gained a lot.

certainly……

After getting in the car, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Special effects...

Some practical advertising space?

Green channel in terms of channels...

The power of life and death over the Spring Festival Gala!

What does this mean?

Wait! Xiao Lu seems...

Made a huge profit from me without making any noise?

That’s not right. Why do I feel like I’ve been fooled?

He clearly made a great deal, so why does this guy still look so aggrieved?

This person...

What kind of star are you?

Just become a profiteer.

but……

Will this year's Spring Festival Gala become a "Lu Yuan"-flavored Spring Festival Gala?

…

After Li Mingrui left, Zhou Xiaoxia also stood up and said goodbye.

Although she hoped that Lu Yuan would help her write a song, she knew that there was no rush for it now...

Maxvis and Lu Yuan are the highlights.

and……

It's impossible to let this world-class dancing king wait here for the whole afternoon, right?

However, after she said goodbye, Lu Yuan came to her.

"Sister Zhou... I will listen to your old songs tomorrow. If it's possible, I should be able to give you an answer the day after tomorrow."

"the day after tomorrow?"

"Um."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lu."

"No trouble, no trouble..."

…

After everyone had left, McVis stood up.

"Mr. Lu Yuan..."

"Sorry, Mr. Mike, I kept you waiting..."

"No, no, no, it's first come, first served. I came too late, so it's normal to wait a while..."

"Mr. Mike, shall we go eat first? I will cook for you some oriental dumplings."

"Okay! But before we eat, I want to ask, Mr. Lu Yuan, how about we sing a song together at the concert?"

"chorus?"

"Yes, chorus. I listened to your song a few days ago and I think it's very nice. If we sing together, it may have a different effect. Well, besides that, Mr. Lu Yuan, I hope you can write a song..."

"Ah? That is, the song we sing together, I want to give the audience some different experiences, what do you think?"

"chorus?"

"Yes, it's best to learn both English and Chinese..."

"this……"
