"The moderators on this live streaming platform must be living in my live stream room. They ban me no matter what I draw. Screw them!"
And those netizens are all idiots too. They just scribble something randomly, and you all get promoted instantly. Seriously, they don't give me a chance to get on the right track at all!
When Xu Lu woke up early in the morning, he was still indignant about his live broadcast room being shut down again last night.
Although this was just one of countless times since he started live streaming, being banned ten or more times a day has become a major characteristic of his live streams.
But that doesn't stop Xu Lu from criticizing the review process every day.
Oh, by the way, he did draw something different during his live stream last night.
Unlike the figures he drew at the beginning, or the various lifelike objects he drew after he stopped drawing figures altogether, or even later, when he drew clothes directly, but there wasn't a single hair in the clothes.
Xu Lu had a new inspiration after talking with the horror movie director yesterday.
So what he painted last night was a horror-themed sculpture.
But the worst part is that even if he painted a sculpture covered by a white cloth, these silly netizens still said that there must be a beautiful woman under the white cloth.
Then, the live stream was shut down!
"I painted a sculpture, and there's even a cloth covering it. I'm truly impressed that you all claim you can see right through it!"
Xu Lu felt that he was always at a disadvantage in his battle of wits with silly netizens, probably because he wasn't weird enough!
These people are evolving too fast!
So much so that even Xu Lu, the pioneer, is now struggling to keep up with their pace, and anything he draws is subject to interpretation and speculation.
...
"Xiao Xu, this is our 'Haunted House' crew's male lead, 'Brother Wen.' You must have heard of his name. Ah Wen, this is Xiao Xu, the second male lead I've chosen!"
Upon arriving at the set of the horror film 'Haunted House,' which had only recently been launched, director Zhong Li pulled Xu Lu aside to greet 'Brother Wen.'
"Hello, Brother Wen, please take care of me!" Xu Lu, as a newcomer, was the first to greet him.
"Hello, hello. Let's look out for each other and improve together. By the way, Xiao Xu, I've never heard of you before? Are you a newbie?"
Brother Wen is easy to get along with and has a very casual attitude, but I asked him with some curiosity.
Xu Lu nodded and said:
"That's right, Brother Wen, I haven't been in the industry for long, and Director Zhong just dragged me in to make up the numbers!"
"Awen, don't underestimate Xu just because he's a newcomer. His acting skills are anything but simple. You'll see soon enough!"
Director Zhong chuckled from the side.
He was naturally happy to see the male lead and the second male lead get along well, as this would make things much easier during filming. So he said something to Xu Lu at that moment.
Of course, this was not a compliment to Zhong Li; the footage he saw in the haunted house through the surveillance video had already confirmed this.
"Oh? Then I'd love to see for myself!"
Upon hearing what Director Zhong said, Brother Wen immediately became interested. It was clear that he was someone who loved acting, and therefore his mind was very simple.
Xu Lu naturally enjoys being around this kind of person.
Soon, he, Brother Wen, and Director Zhong started talking about the script for the upcoming film, Ghost Ship.
This horror movie is mainly about a man, the male lead played by Wen Ge, who has a special ability.
This special ability allows the male protagonist in the film to see omens of death in others, which then triggers a series of events. Since it is a horror film, various bizarre events are inevitable.
Xu Lu plays the second male lead, who is a friend of the male lead. Of course, in this kind of film, the male lead's friends often don't have a good ending, and the second male lead in this film is no exception.
However, to add more twists to the plot, the director has the second male lead experience being possessed by a strange entity in the film, and he engages in a battle of wits with the male and female leads...
"Wasn't it said that both the male and female leads would be there today? Why are only the male lead and the second male lead here? Is something wrong with the female lead?"
During his free time, Xu Lu pondered this with some confusion.
Because he didn't know who the female lead of this horror movie was, or rather, he didn't know much about the actors in this world.
However, judging from the fact that Director Chung kept checking his watch on set, and the fact that he looked somewhat displeased as time went by, the female lead was probably late.
It wasn't until noon that Director Zhong stood up, coughed, and said:
"Ahem, how about we all go grab some lunch first, and then..."
Unexpectedly, just as the group was about to go for lunch, a woman with long, wavy hair rushed over, accompanied by a female assistant.
The woman didn't seem embarrassed at all; she casually greeted Director Zhong and said:
"Director Zhong, something came up and I'm a bit delayed. Let's quickly discuss the script now, as I need to attend an event this afternoon!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Wen frowned almost imperceptibly.
Director Zhong also took a deep breath.
However, perhaps considering the other person's status, he forced a smile and said:
"Zhou An, you've kept a whole bunch of us waiting for ages. Could you please postpone your afternoon event?"
Because the script for the haunted house is a bit complicated, it's definitely difficult to explain in a short time, I think..."
Unexpectedly, the actress named Zhou An interrupted directly:
"Director Zhong, I definitely can't cancel my event this afternoon. They're here specifically for me, and as the lead actor, I can't refuse."
Since you say the script is very complicated, then make a copy and give it to my assistant. I'll look at it when I have time.
Director Zhong was clearly shocked by the actress's thought process.
But for some reason, he took another deep breath.
After all, a large portion of the funding for this haunted house film came from this woman, which is the legendary "bringing her own investment to the production team".
"Okay then..."
Thinking of this, Director Zhong nodded and asked someone to get a photocopy.
But to everyone's surprise, Director Zhong didn't cause any trouble. Instead, the actress named Zhou An suddenly seemed to notice the others present.
She glanced at Brother Wen and nodded slightly.
When she looked at Xu Lu, the woman actually spoke with a hint of disgust:
"Director Zhong, Wenzhan is fine as the male lead; I quite approve of his acting skills. But the second male lead you mentioned... could it be him?"
"This is Xu Lu, the second male lead in the haunted house! Although Xu is a newcomer, his acting skills are quite good!"
Director Zhong nodded affirmatively.
Unexpectedly, Zhou An immediately said:
"Putting aside whether his acting is up to par... we can't just cast someone with no reputation as the second male lead, can we? Besides, I don't want someone else to ride on my coattails!"
