Don't take advantage of the bastard.
Lu Xingxing, who accepted the threat, accepted the gift from Lu Yunshen.
As thoughtful as Lu Yunshen, he also prepared cakes, flowers and red wine with such care.
So, Lu Xingxing, who was overwhelmed by joy, sat on the sofa with flowers in his hands, all he knew was a silly smile on his face.
Putting candles on the cake symbolically, and lighting them one by one, Lu Yunshen got up and turned off the headlights in the living room. Seeing that the person sitting on the sofa was indifferent, he could only remind him: "You can make a wish."
Lu Xingxing said stupidly: "What wish should I make?"
She looked up eagerly, with a sweet smile, and a pair of bright eyes in the dim light.
Lu Yunshen looked at Lu Xingxing who couldn't hide his joy, and also bent the corner of his mouth.
He opened his mouth but was still blunt, as if impatient: "It's your birthday, you want to make a wish, what do you ask me for?"
"It makes sense!" Lu Xingxing replied with a smile, then put his hands together, closed his eyes and said solemnly, "If possible, let Lu Yunshen's sister come back. If not, then let us all be healthy and get what we want."
The living room was too quiet, even though Lu Xingxing's voice was not loud, Lu Yunshen could hear her words clearly. Her tone was too serious. At that moment, the smile on his face froze, and then disappeared.
Lu Xingxing, who closed his eyes, did not see this scene.
When she opened her eyes again, she was busy blowing out the candles, but she also didn't look at Lu Yunshen, and Lu Yunshen's expression had returned to calm.
The light in the living room was turned on, Lu Yunshen turned back to the sofa, and opened the red wine silently. Seeing that he was silent, Lu Xingxing put the cut cake in front of him and asked, "Is it because my wish was not good?"
Lu Yunshen poured red wine into the goblet and asked slowly, "Why not?"
The other party was too calm, Lu Xingxing whispered: "I thought you would say that it won't work if you express your wish..."
"That's something you little girls like, and I don't believe in these things."
"Aren't you afraid that I'm actually relying on your family on purpose?"
"What is intentional reliance?"
"For example, I'm actually very powerful. I have superpowers, and I specialize in doing bad things behind my back."
Lu Yunshen didn't take it seriously, and said lazily: "If you have this kind of ability, you still have to work so hard to study, and you are afraid that you will fail the exam and ask me to help you review? Would you let me review for you, but you only got 70 points in the exam? "
Lu Xingxing: "..."
"Can't it be that I want to experience life? Do you understand if you hide your strengths and bide your time? Do you understand if you hide deep?"
Lu Yunshen nodded: "Well, you are as wise as a fool."
Lu Xingxing: "..."
Forget it, murder is a crime after all!
The breathless Lu Xingxing shut up and ate his cake with his head down.
Although Lu Yunshen opened a bottle of red wine and drank happily, he didn't let Lu Xingxing touch a drop, and only gave her drinks. The reason he gave was very legitimate: both of them were drinking, who would be in charge of driving when they go back
The truth is this, but why should she drive here, and she should also go back? !
Lu Xingxing discovered that Lu Yunshen also had the potential to dominate the boss.
Cannibals are soft-mouthed, but short-handed.
Lu Xingxing, who had both of them today, had to choose to give in again.
The TV in the living room was turned on, and the New Year's Eve party was broadcasting along with the fun. Stars, big and small, took turns to appear on stage. Lu Xingxing, who often watched entertainment news, basically recognized them all. She was just watching something lively, whether the program was good or not was second to none.
It was close to nine o'clock when they came out of Lu's house, and they walked around the city before coming here and staying here until now.
Quietly, a New Year's Eve party that lasted for several hours was coming to an end.
Han Xu's appearance made Lu Xingxing realize the passage of time. He is an artist who debuted this year. No matter how popular he is, his qualifications are too low. He was scheduled to appear on the third-to-last program before midnight. The company and the TV station praised him very much.
If the previous shows always made people suspect that the sound on the stage was not very good, then Han Xu was the one who helped fix the sound. His performance was quite wonderful, and Lu Xingxing could hardly take his eyes off it.
Lu Yunshen recognized Han Xu before, and now he recognizes him through the screen.
He turned to look at the person sitting next to him.
"Singing really well."
It wasn't until Han Xu's performance was over that Lu Xingxing commented, "It's very impressive that the live broadcast can reach this level."
Lu Yun was silent, and asked, "Is he still chasing you?"
The words were too sudden, Lu Xingxing didn't realize it for a while, and subconsciously said, "What?"
Thinking back on Lu Yunshen's words, her head was full of black lines: "Who said he was chasing me?" After a pause for a few seconds, she continued, "He and I are just ordinary friends at most, whether we can remain friends... I don't know. "
Lu Xingxing remembered what Feng Qiluo had said about the same thing.
She smiled for a while: "Actually, I have almost lost contact with him in the past six months. He is very busy now."
It was because Han Xu was busy, and it was intentional. Feng Haochen would suffer from delusional disorder if he didn't contact him, but what would happen if he kept in touch frequently... She didn't want to cause trouble for Han Xu for no reason.
Lu Yunshen didn't ask about matters related to Han Xu, but instead said, "Go home after twelve o'clock."
"good."
Lu Xingxing continued to watch TV.
Lu Yunshen suddenly asked her again: "How old are you this year?"
I heard it clearly, but why does this question sound so strange at first glance...
Lu Xingxing glanced at Lu Yunshen and thought for a while: "Eighteen."
"eighteen?"
Lu Yunshen told her with his expression that he doubted the authenticity of this age.
Lu Xingxing changed his words after thinking about it: "Then how about... Seventeen?"
Lu Yunshen: "..."
On the TV, the host of the New Year's Eve party started the countdown to the last ten seconds of the New Year's Eve.
Lu Xingxing looked away, but couldn't help laughing because of his speechless expression for a moment.
Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!
When the last number was counted, the salute on the TV suddenly sounded, and the colored paper was flying on the stage, beaming with joy.
The new year has officially arrived.
Lu Xingxing smiled and sent blessings: "Brother Yunshen, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Although Lu Xingxing made such a wish on his birthday, nothing happened and everything remained the same. And even though she received a cool sports car as a birthday present, she rarely gets the chance to drive it because she is used to keeping a low profile.
Three months have passed since my life went on as planned. In mid-April, Lu Xingxing received good news—their film "Early Sun" was shortlisted for the "Film Critics Week" section of the International Film Festival to be held in May.
To be shortlisted is to be sure.
In any case, this news has inspired a lot of film creators.
Therefore, in late May, accompanied by Tian Xi, Lu Xingxing flew abroad to participate in the film festival with director Gu Xiaofeng and other leading actors. She stepped onto the international stage for the first time, and gained a lot of attention because of movies and red carpets.
However, after all, it lacks a little strength, or luck.
They didn't win any trophies in the end on this trip, but it's not surprising but it doesn't mean they're not disappointed.
The only consolation is that the film was previously scheduled for June, and the publicity brought by the film festival must have benefited the box office to some extent.
Lu Xingxing participated in some promotional activities before and after the film's release. During that time, she had to prepare for various exams, fly around with Gu Xiaofeng, and participate in road shows, so she was extremely tired.
The movie was released on Friday until Sunday. After three days, the box office performance of the movie was mediocre. The disadvantages of non-commercial films are highlighted. Since the competition in the same period is not very fierce, the number of screenings is barely kept, but the box office cannot be expected.
The second week of the release of "Chu Yang" is also the fifth day of the film's official release.
One Tuesday, at 8:30 in the morning, Lu Xingxing, who had no class in the first and second periods of the morning, received a series of fatal calls from Tian Xi.
She received the call and hurried to Zhixing. Gu Xiaofeng and others were already in the conference room. Tian Xi had already told her what was going on on the way, but after entering the meeting room, she was silent the whole time and listened quietly.
It's not that there's anything wrong with their movie... The incident started when the local police released a case report on the official blog yesterday. The report detailed the circumstances of the case. A 16-year-old girl committed suicide at home after hacking her stepfather to death. The girl had been sexually assaulted and abused by her stepfather for many years.
When this case first came out, it attracted a lot of attention on the Internet, and yesterday's report aroused strong anger and condemnation from netizens. Coincidentally, the story background of their movie "Chuyang" is very similar to it.
In the movie, the heroine Qu Chuyang's mother can't stand her husband's alcoholism and domestic violence and chooses to divorce. The divorced mother Qu took her daughter to remarry, but her drunken ex-husband often came to harass them to make them feel better.
At that time, Qu Chuyang was about sixteen years old and was in the first year of high school.
One day after evening self-study, she ran into her biological father who was drunk on the way home.
That night, Qu Chuyang was sexually assaulted by his biological father after drinking. Later, she hacked her biological father to death like the girl in that case, but she also suffered from a very serious mental illness because of it.
The movie "Chuyang" tells the current situation of Qu's mother, Qu Chuyang's stepfather, and 18-year-old Qu Chuyang two years after this incident. Similar stories, different endings, netizens linked the two things together...
In reality, this case is regrettable, angry, and distressing, and so is the movie. Zhixing called people here for a meeting, hoping that everyone will be more vigilant and not do things like taking advantage of the opportunity to publicize.
Human blood steamed buns cannot be eaten.
Lu Xingxing knows this truth and agrees with Zhixing's decision.
Zhixing is cautious, but he can't restrain the netizens.
Even though they did not take advantage of the promotion, the impact of the film festival in the early stage, the quality assurance of the film, and the behavior of netizens spontaneously walking into the cinema and supporting the box office still made the box office of this film go up all the way.
By the time the movie is released, a movie that can pay back its 10 million yuan will have a box office of nearly 200 million yuan.
The day after the film was released in theaters, the film's official Weibo announced that it would donate 5 million yuan to relevant public welfare organizations.
How honest Lu Xingxing is, during the film's release, he didn't post a single Weibo for a month. Until the official release of this news, she forwarded it, using a sentence from the movie promotion period——
"No matter how fair and just the law is, no matter how friendly and sympathetic the world is, what we hope most is that such evil will never occur."
After the movie was released, Lu Xingxing felt some changes in his life. First of all, Tian Xi began to report various film and commercial contracts to her. Secondly, she was in school, and from time to time someone would ask her for an autograph.
Even in these film contracts, there are also big-budget movies.
The road that I thought needed to be walked slowly and carefully suddenly became open and flat.
Facing the film appointments that came flying like snowflakes, Lu Xingxing became more cautious. Before she had decided what kind of script she would take on for her second work, she first received a request from Han Xu, hoping that she would come to her rescue.
Since his debut, Han Xu has released a new album that is the annual sales champion, and held two sold out concerts where tickets are hard to come by. In addition, Jing Teng also arranged an idol drama for him to broaden his career path.
In this idol drama, his partner is a popular floret of similar age, and fans are also very optimistic about it. As a result, last weekend, this popular little flower was exposed to meddling in other people's families, and she was scolded very much on the Internet.
The show has been in production for nearly half a month, and the heroine has made such a fuss. It is impossible not to change, and even if she wants to change, she can't find a suitable candidate all at once. From the producer and director of the TV series to Jing Teng, everyone is suffering from this matter.
Actresses of the same rank don't say if they have a schedule, even if they have a schedule, they won't come... Besides, they must not pick someone who will disappoint the fans... It was Han Xu who asked Lu Xingxing for help.
For film newcomers, the box office results and reputation of the first starring work "Chuyang" are obvious to all. Qu Chuyang played by Lu Xingxing has been recognized by the audience. Therefore, once Han Xu proposed, no one objected, and he was just hesitant about how to invite him.
In fact, Jing Teng has considered asking Lin Chuchu to save the scene, but Lin Chuchu's schedule is too full, and she is currently filming another TV series, so there is really no way. As a last resort, he agreed with Han Xu and Lu Xingxing to discuss it.
After understanding the cause and effect clearly, Lu Xingxing did not reply to Han Xu immediately. It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she is hesitant about idol dramas...Idol dramas are mainly about dating. Although they are filming, there will inevitably be intimacy...
Who knew that Feng Haochen would directly go to the Lu family to find her.
During the day, both Lu Jianhua and Shen Zhi went to work, and Lu Xingxing had to entertain the Buddha himself.
"This drama is expected to have 30 episodes. If you are willing to shoot, Jing Teng can offer you a salary of 1 million yuan per episode. Jing Teng will be responsible for reimbursement of all expenses during filming. You can also mention other conditions first. "
Feng Haochen seemed to be ready to show the utmost sincerity, and he was the first to put forward conditions when he came up.
One episode is one million, thirty episodes is equal to thirty million.
The remuneration offered was absolutely sincere, and Lu Xingxing also knew that he was not worth so much now.
"Mr. Feng, I'm still thinking about this matter. After thinking about it, I will tell my friend my answer. You don't have to act like this at all." Lu Xingxing looked at Feng Haochen, "Besides, you are not worried now?"
"I'm filming with an artist that your company strongly recommends. If you don't say anything else, your sister may be very upset. I don't know if you have considered this? Whether you consider it or not, I have to consider it."
"What happened last time, if I offended Ms. Lu, I am here to apologize to Ms. Lu." Feng Haochen lowered his posture, "I hope Ms. Lu can look at Han Xu and my sister's face and help us This is busy."
"It seems that this project is very important to Jing Teng."
Feng Haochen was noncommittal and said, "Now only Ms. Lu can help with this."
"only?"
"Yes, only, and Teacher Chi also said that Miss Lu is very suitable."
Feng Haochen mentioned the teacher who taught her acting, Lu Xingxing remained silent.
She did receive a call from Teacher Chi this morning. Teacher Chi said that he was in charge of the show's performance guidance.
In fact, with Han Xu and Teacher Chi, it was such a situation that it was very difficult for Lu Xingxing to refuse to help.
Even if Feng Haochen didn't show up, she still made a decision.
"My agent will discuss the remuneration with you, and my agent will also discuss other conditions with you." The other party is so straight to the point and doesn't go around the bush, Lu Xingxing also doesn't put on a show, "I can join the team three days after I get the script."
Jing Teng was probably very anxious, and he agreed to all the conditions she proposed and wrote them into the contract.
As soon as the contract was signed, the script was quickly in her hands.
After receiving the script, Lu Xingxing worked overtime to study the script, then packed up his things and went to filming. The drama was delayed too much before, and after she joined the group, she kept spinning like a spinning top.
Twenty-four hours a day, 18 hours in the crew filming. So, on the fifth day she joined the group, Shen Zhi decided to pack her things... and sent her to live with Lu Yunshen.
