I participate in shows that do parodies of me.

Then……

There’s no way to advance, and you were eliminated during the auditions?

This may seem ridiculous, but it actually happened to Lu Yuan...

After returning home, Lu Yuan was still in shock for a long time. He went to the mirror, looked at himself, and then posed a few times. Lu Yuan actually had the illusion that he was not himself at this moment.

This feeling is really weird.

"Incredible?"

"Well, a little..."

“That seems normal to me.”

"normal?"

"yes."

"How is this normal?"

"After all, you don't appear on camera very often. Once you are on camera, you are basically either singing or filming a movie, so the audience only remembers your most outstanding side, or in other words, they only remember your shining side. When you go on stage, you neither sing your own songs nor have you shaved in the past two days. The clothes you wear are not the same as the ones you wore before in front of the camera, and that Chu Xiao plays you so much like Lu Yuan. In short, with this comparison, do you look like Lu Yuan in the eyes of the audience?" Wang Jinxue explained to Lu Yuan with a smile.

"It seems... really not very similar?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment after looking at Wang Jinxue's smile.

"There is also a resurrection match. Do you want to give it a try?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan and suddenly became interested.

"Forget it, I won't go..."

"You're really not going?"

"I won't go. If I get eliminated in the revival match again, I will be so embarrassed. If this gets out... won't it become my black history?" Lu Yuan finally shook his head.

"Haha, okay."

"etc……"

"What's wrong?"

"What did you say? What you meant was that they only remember the side of me that was captured on camera, and don't know..."

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"No...I seem to...um, think of something?"

"What?"

"I can't remember it again. Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore."

…

On the third day of the New Year, Lu Shuren and his wife finally boarded a plane to France and said goodbye to Lu Yuan.

In such a big hometown, Lu Yuan felt like he was abandoned.

I wanted to go home and spend a few days with my parents, but I didn't expect them to not want to play with me...

They play their own games.

That's pretty cold.

Lu Yuan looked at his mom and dad dragging their luggage away, and felt an indescribable sense of sadness.

but……

Lu Yuanren was abandoned, but his work never abandoned him.

Before he could fully enjoy the happiness of lying in bed at home, he kept receiving one inquiry call after another from "remote game" Liu Liu.

Sometimes it's about the progress of World of Warcraft, sometimes it's about the data analysis of World of Warcraft, sometimes it's about the arrangement of the application for World of Warcraft testing...

Within one day, Lu Yuan could receive dozens of calls, and none of them were the same.

Moreover, he had to accept it.

Why?

Because World of Warcraft is done.

Now we are conducting various tests, and during the tests, there are many data issues that require Lu Yuan’s consent.

Lu Yuan told Da Liu that he could let Da Liu handle these things alone.

but……

Liu doesn't want to!

Why not?

In Liu's words, now is the final and most important stage of "World of Warcraft", and many details of project testing must be made known to President Lu. In fact, in a sense, Liu really wants to share the fruits of his labor and joy for so long, and wants to witness the birth of this game with Lu Yuan!

Can Lu Yuan refuse?

Seeing that Liu's forehead was already barren, he had no way to refuse!

So, he looked at various BUG test data with Liu every day.

Two days passed quickly.

On the evening of the fifth day of the first lunar month, the game "World of Warcraft" went through the final system test and it was finally time to open the beta account and officially start the beta promotion.

Big Liu opened his red eyes, took out a publicity plan and excitedly called Lu Yuan again.

"Mr. Lu..."

"explain……"

"I have sent you the internal beta promotion plan for World of Warcraft. Can you please see if there is anything that needs to be rectified?"

"good."

Lu Yuan took a look at the promotional plan for World of Warcraft.

Lu Yuan had no problem with plans like internal beta discounts for players, including some changes to the "remote platform", some data adjustments, and preferential policies for VIPs. However, when it came to external publicity, Lu Yuan found that Liu was not very good at it, and the project was a bit flashy, and in Lu Yuan's opinion, it seemed like he couldn't find the key points.

You ask him to develop a program, and he will make one for you in no time, but you ask him to promote it externally and run various advertisements?

Liu really doesn’t know how to do it.

"Big Liu..."

"Mr. Lu, you said..."

"Promotions should be simple and straightforward. I think these external activities and the fact that we are just advertising and attracting users, these fancy promotions are inappropriate."

"Mr. Lu, then...what do you think we should do..."

"Da Liu, how was your conversation with the overseas game agency?"

"As for the agency, we have contacted Wells Company. They looked at our game plan and are quite interested in our game, but..."

"What is it?"

“The price is very low…”

"How low?"

"Twenty percent lower than the market price..."

"What!"

When hearing this, Lu Yuan was a little confused. Could it be so low?

Do you look down on World of Warcraft so much?

"Companies over there generally look down on games produced by China. They think our Chinese games are not as good as theirs. Moreover, our 'Remote Games' are not well-known overseas. It is basically because of your name that it is slightly better... After all, China did release many games before, but those games did not cause any waves overseas... It's the same as the Chinese movies before... In fact, our 'World of Warcraft' is still pretty good, and the prices of other games are even lower..."

“……” Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan fell silent.

He recalled the time when his movie went to Hollywood.

It has never been favored by others.

Didn't expect the game to be like this again?

Am I going to spend a lot of money to acquire an overseas game company again?

Old tricks again?

Buy a chicken!

Now I still owe my father-in-law a large sum of money.

If these movies hadn't been made, I would still be in negative assets...

That’s quite…

Fuck?

"Mr. Lu, actually, there is another game company called 'Dawn Empire' that is very sincere to us..."

"'Dawn Empire'? How much do you know about this company?"

"It's a game company that has just been established for five years. It has also produced some mediocre games. It is quite stable, but its game rankings in the United States are ranked at the bottom. But the boss of the game company, Mr. Gail, called me several times. He really hopes to be the agent for our "World of Warcraft"..." On the other end of the phone, Liu hesitated for a moment and finally said this.

"Da Liu, what do you think?"

"Ah? Me?"

"Yes, Da Liu, if you were given a choice, what would you think?"

"I... I want to give it a try... But that company may not have as much money as big companies in terms of investment in publicity..."

“Publicity is not a problem.”

"ah?"

"Didn't I sign McVey? Is this world-class publicity enough?"

“…”

After hearing this, Liu on the other end of the phone took a long time to react.

After holding it in for a long time, I finally uttered four words.

"Oh my god..."

After Lu Yuan finished his phone call with Da Liu, Wang Jinxue sat quietly next to Lu Yuan.

"Did you finish the fight?"

"Well, it's over."

"Lu Yuan, let's go back tomorrow..."

"good."

Lu Yuan nodded and looked out the window.

A bright moon rose outside the window.

He looked at the bright moon and felt inexplicably complicated.

The imagined Chinese New Year and the actual Chinese New Year seem to be different.

Even when walking on the street, the New Year atmosphere is not as strong as before...

He was actually somewhat sad.

Could it be that...

Is this what growing up is?

"Lu Yuan..."

"ah?"

"Don't show such an emotional expression, I will always be with you..."

Under the moonlight.

Wang Jinxue hugged Lu Yuan gently and whispered these words in his ear.

When I heard this.

Lu Yuan smiled, looking at Wang Jinxue's beautiful face and the tenderness in her eyes...

This moment...

All other messy emotions seemed to be swept away.

I have you in my life...

very nice!

How wonderful it would be if time could stop at this moment.

This thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"Jinxue..."

"Um."

"I love ..."

Just when Lu Yuan was about to express his feelings, his cell phone suddenly rang.

This tenderness and warmth collapsed in an instant.

He took out his cell phone and saw that the call was from Zhou Shuai.

This call came at a really bad time!

Lu Yuan even wanted to give Zhou Shuai a good beating.

but……

Finally he answered the phone.

"Ayuan... this is too much!"

"What's wrong!"

"You participated in a contest to imitate yourself falling, and then you were eliminated?"

"???" When he heard this, Lu Yuan was stunned. "How did you know?"

He actually had some alpaca.

How did Zhou Shuai know this dark history?

"The song 'Lonely Northern Hemisphere' has been all over the internet, and you were recognized by netizens. The news of your return to your hometown was dug up by the young man next door, who also took a few photos of you returning home... I guess tomorrow morning, your house will be blocked by all the reporters... And... Vice President Wang, is she pregnant?"

"Oh my god, all this has been exposed?" Lu Yuan was shocked when he heard the news.

"Oh my god, this young man is really talented! Damn it, no, I'll dig this guy to our Chaoyang Entertainment News. I heard that he is a fresh graduate... I won't say more, Ayuan, you can go online and check it out yourself. Just now, half an hour ago, this headline was all over the news. Oh my god, how did this kid submit his manuscript to the China Peripheral Entertainment News? Damn it! The sales of the newspaper will probably be suppressed tomorrow..."

“…”

Under the night...

Lu Yuan turned and looked at Wang Jinxue with a very fucked-up expression.

"Jinxue..."

"Um."

"Should we...go now?"

"good."
