Lu Zhou followed Xiao Yi around the county for a day. Xiao Yi knew that Lu Zhou seldom went to public places in Beijing. He ran at home, in the car, and indoor places at three o'clock and one line. He almost never went to the shopping mall. If you want to go shopping in a large shopping mall, you have to go abroad.
Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou first went to play video games, and then went to the flower market. At the beginning, Lu Zhou was expressionless towards the shopping mall. Xiao Yi knew that he could buy the whole shopping mall casually with his wealth. I can take him to the shop, so instead of taking him to buy clothes, I went to a shop selling gadgets and ate some Hubei snacks by the way.
In the afternoon, the two went to the flower market again. Lu Zhou was obviously very interested in the things in the flower market. He looked at it and said, "When I was young, there were a lot of toys I wanted to buy for the Chinese New Year."
"Me too." Xiao Yi hugged a pot of flowers, seeing Lu Zhou bowing down and playing with those colorful things in front of the stall, he just found it very funny.
In the evening, the two of them wandered around the large supermarket for a long time. There were grandpas and aunts buying new year's goods everywhere. Xiao Yi pushed the cart, and Lu Zhou took a casual look, and threw things on the cart casually like he didn't need money.
In the end, Xiao Yi let Xiao Qiang come down, and took a lot of New Year's goods upstairs. His parents made hot pot to entertain Lu Zhou. Five people, one dining table, the hot pot on the table in winter was still steaming, and Lu Zhou was broadcast on TV. Starring in the golden dog blood eight o'clock file.
Talking and laughing, everyone was eating while watching Lu Zhou. Xiao's father and Xiao's mother obviously knew who Lu Zhou was from Xiao's brother, and they were much more careful when they spoke, but Lu Zhou made a few jokes to resolve the embarrassment Xiao Yi said with a smile: "You can treat brother Zhou as a duma, brother Zhou and I are the best."
When he was in college, Duma sometimes came to Xiao Yi's house to celebrate the New Year, and Lu Zhou clinked glasses with Brother Xiao and drank with him.
After dinner, Lu Zhou rolled up his sleeves and helped Xiao Ma tidy up the dishes. Xiao Yi was out of his wits and wanted to help, but Lu Zhou stopped him and said, "What can you do! You can't do anything!"
Xiao Ma laughed loudly and said, "I'll come, Xiao Lu, just put the bowls and chopsticks in the sink."
In the middle of the night, Lu Zhou was obviously a little tired from shopping, and fell asleep very early. Before going to bed, he even mentioned that he would go for a run the next day.
Lu Zhou hadn't exercised for several days, and Xiao Yi couldn't take him to the gym, so he could only run, but there were many people with dogs nearby, and running was easy to be chased by dogs. In the end, he was scolded by Lu Zhou, so he had to decide the second Get up early in the day and go for a run in the morning.
After Lu Zhou went to sleep, Xiao Yi specially monitored Xiao Qiang, to see if he would secretly call or tell his friends about Lu Zhou's visit to his house. Xiao Qiang obviously kept his mouth shut because of his car, and no one said anything. Only then did Xiao Yi feel relieved, and held another small family meeting, specifically reminding the whole family that this matter was closely related to his work, and the family members unanimously promised not to cause trouble to Xiao Yi, so Xiao Yi dared to go in and sleep.
When living at Lu Zhou’s house in Beijing, Xiao Yi hugged the one-meter-long Lu Zhou doll every day. He was not used to falling asleep, so he unconsciously regarded Lu Zhou as a substitute for the doll. Lu Zhou was still alive when he fell asleep. Snoring, sleeping unconscious, with his whole arm resting on the pillow, Xiao Yi wrapped his whole body around Lu Zhou, with one of his feet between his feet like a koala.
early in the morning.
When Xiao Yi found himself entangled with Lu Zhou, his face convulsed immediately, he let him go with great care, and slowly moved aside. Lu Zhou was still in a deep sleep, with a tent in his underwear.
Xiao Yi retreated to the bed and took a deep breath.
"Hello... Brother Zhou." Xiao Yi said cautiously, "Get up—"
half an hour later.
"Are you a man?" Lu Zhou was wearing a sportswear, walking in place by the road behind the community, waiting for Xiao Yi to catch up.
Xiao Yi was out of breath, leaning on a tree, and said, "You...you run, don't wait for me..."
Lu Zhou: "I don't know the way, you lack exercise too much!"
Xiao Yi couldn't play with Lu Zhou at all. Lu Zhou was tall and a sports student. To him, running ten kilometers was like eating. The assistant contract never said that he wanted to run with the boss!
"Huh—huh—" Xiao Yi's face was pale, feeling that he had reached his limit, and he was about to die on the side of the road in minutes. Lu Zhou exhaled hot air, took off his earmuffs and hat, took off his coat, and wore a vest, showing his strong arms. Xiao Yi Followed, limping along.
"You should exercise more at ordinary times!" Lu Zhou said: "Like a skinny chicken all day long."
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes, and Lu Zhou said, "Bring me the money and buy breakfast. I want hot dry noodles."
The hot and dry noodle stall on the street has already opened, Xiao Yi was out of breath, and followed Lu Zhou to eat noodles, Lu Zhou ate two big bowls, and asked for a bowl of boiled water to drink dishwashing water, Xiao Yi ate one Wan, slumped on the seat, feeling a little more comfortable.
"Wear the scarf, don't catch a cold." Lu Zhou said.
Xiao Yi said: "I'm okay, I... I can't, no, I'm okay... I mean I can't do it now..."
After running, Xiao Yi broke out in sweat and felt much more energetic. There were gradually more people. They walked along the long street, stopped at the bus station, and prepared to go home.
Lu Zhou's sweat dried up, and there was a puddle of sweat stains on the back of the vest. Xiao Yi shook off his coat and put it on for him. The two of them happened to pass outside a shopping mall, ready to take a taxi or take a bus.
"Excuse me... are you Lu Zhou?" A male high school student said, "Can you give me... an autograph?"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Lu Zhou: "..."
Lu Zhou took off his earmuffs and hat, his hair was a little longer, and he put on his coat. After running, both Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou completely forgot that they would be discovered when they went out.
Lu Zhou immediately reacted and said, "Shh, don't shout, give me the pen."
The boy almost fainted and said, "You, you, is it really you?! Me, me, me..."
When the boy looked back, Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou felt a thump in their hearts at the same time. There were groups of middle school students standing behind the bus stop. They seemed to be out shopping, eating and watching movies during the winter vacation. It was only nine o'clock in the morning! Xiao Yi thought of Nima! You are too diligent! What are you going to do if you don't sleep at home during the winter vacation and go out so early!
The middle school students there had discovered Lu Zhou a long time ago, and sent this boy over to explore the way. Lu Zhou signed him in fear and said, "Goodbye."
"Wow!"
"Ah!"
There was a frenzied scream, and all the cyclists near the bus station, in the shops, and in the newsstands were frightened, and a group of middle school students rushed straight over.
"Lu Zhou!!"
"Lu Zhou—"
"Lu Zhou!"
Lu Zhou and Xiao Yi ran away in an instant. The two rushed into the alley, and Xiao Yi shouted: "This way!"
Xiao Yi had imagined it countless times, but he never expected that he would be chased and intercepted by fans in his hometown. Xiao Yi turned over the wall and stretched out his hand to pull Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou shouted: "Stand back!"
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhou kicked the trash can with his legs, stepped on the trash can, leaped gracefully, turned over the wall, and the fans chased him into the alley, screaming: "Lu Zhou!"
Xiao Yi dragged Lu Zhou, ran out from the other side, and rushed across the road. Fans chased after him from the corner, and there were people everywhere. Xiao Yi rushed into the mall with Lu Zhou, and the mall fell instantly, "Lu Zhou The scream of "Lu Zhou" almost overturned the shopping mall. The clerk of the clothing store that just opened didn't know what happened. He looked around and heard someone's name clearly, and immediately screamed and chased him in high heels past.
"Aren't you exhausted to run!" Lu Zhou roared angrily.
Xiao Yi: "Life and death! Can you not run away!"
With more and more fans, Xiao Yi felt like he was acting in various versions of "Evil Castle". But Lu Zhou couldn't run anymore, leaned on the wall to pant, and waved his hands.
"Old and old..."
"Run!" Xiao Yi roared angrily, "Be careful of being stripped naked!"
Lu Zhou: "..."
Lu Zhou sprinted with all his strength, and rushed out of the garage with Xiao Yi. The fans chased them all the way out, but Xiao Yi had already managed to shake off a lot of his scud. He ran along the road until he came to a deserted construction site.
"You hide here!" Xiao Yi said, "I will meet you in half an hour!"
Xiao Yi pushed Lu Zhou into a plastic shed, turned around and rushed onto the road again, distracting the fans.
Lu Zhou was about to lose his breath. He ate nearly half a catty of hot dry noodles and a large bowl of dishwashing water, and was chased by fans all the way. He was in a bad mood. The cry frightened him out of his wits.
Two giant geese pecked wildly at Lu Zhou's top, and another goose screamed and rushed towards Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou yelled frantically, and grabbed a bamboo pole to beat the geese. The bamboo pole As soon as he made a move, the goose snatched it away with lightning speed, and Lu Zhou yelled, "Help!"
Lu Zhou was most afraid of this thing in his life, and he stopped hiding immediately. The fighting power of geese is a thousand times higher than that of fans. I don't know who is so wicked to raise geese on the construction site!
Xiao Yi ran and stopped.
After chasing dozens of fans, Xiao Yi turned around and said, "Hey! Lu Zhou has already left!"
Fans: "?"
Xiao Yi took off his baseball cap, bowed gracefully, and said, "Our male god said, I wish you all a happy new year! Start studying hard!"
Xiao Yi turned around, thinking silently that he must not catch up again, his footsteps became faster and faster, he used Lingbo Weibu to dodge the wrong foot, entered the park, mixed into the crowd, and then ran fast. I ran to find Lu Zhou and saw Lu Zhou holding a pole in front of the second floor of the construction site. Three geese below flapped their wings and surrounded the pole angrily.
"Hi!" Xiao Yi shouted loudly, then picked up a brick, and threw it at a distance, but didn't aim at the goose, just hit the iron pole, making a loud noise. Xiao Yi picked up a few more bricks, and rushed over while threatening the three geese, and the geese ran away in an instant.
Lu Zhou was obviously frightened, his face was ashen, and his expression was in a trance.
"Did you do it on purpose! Tell me!" Lu Zhou roared angrily.
"I, I, I... I didn't know there were geese here." Xiao Yi yelled sadly: "You are wronged, my lord!"
Who knew you were afraid of geese... Xiao Yi simply never thought of going here, probably because he was bullied by geese when he was a child... Xiao Qiang's car was parked on the side of the road, and after Lu Zhou returned home, he didn't recover until lunch.
++++++
Du Mei's call came.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Du Mei was about to be played to death by Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou, and said, "Why did you go to Hubei?"
"Yes, yes... that's how it is." Xiao Yi explained what happened, but Du Mei didn't blame him, and said, "It's fine to go to another place for the New Year, but Lu Zhou hasn't had a New Year's Eve dinner for many years. Say hello to your father for me Mother."
Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, okay."
Du Mei said: "I contacted the media and asked them not to report this... Hey? Lin Yao, I suddenly felt that I could report it. By the way, I asked Lu Zhou to record a video and wish everyone a happy new year. What do you think?"
Xiao Yi and Du Mei discussed for a while, and finalized the New Year's blessing short film, planning to post it on the Internet at that time.
On the dinner table that night, a braised goose was given by a relative.
Lu Zhou: "..."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Xiao Yi wondered if this was to scare Lu Zhou. Mother Xiao didn't know what happened during the day, so she kept persuading them to eat more.
The next day, Lu Zhou dragged Xiao Yi down for a run again. He had obviously healed from the trauma of the goose. Known as the lungs of China, Lu Zhou hadn't exercised outdoors for a long time, and he rented a court with Xiao Yi to play badminton that day.
On the night of New Year's Eve, there were firecrackers everywhere. Xiao Yi's family started cooking in the morning and worked hard all day. Xiao Ma knew that they were going back on the third day of the Lunar New Year, so she insisted on frying something for Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou. Xiao Yi stopped them several times, but finally she had to let her go.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Qiang dealt with two chickens, and Lu Zhou also cooked and helped with the work, braised duck with lotus root, stewed chicken soup, fried fish nuggets, roasted mutton, braised fortune fish... Eight large plates of meat, lotus root clips, stir-fried vegetable moss Waiting for four small dishes, Xiao Qiang's girlfriend came to the house instead of going back to the countryside on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Xiao Qiang reminded her thousands of times, telling her not to say anything about having a superstar at home. His girlfriend was so shocked that she didn't recover for a long time. It was Lu Zhou who spoke to her kindly, and Xiao Qiang's girlfriend calmed down a little. A little bit.
Four cold dishes are served, a family of six, toasting and drinking, everyone celebrates the New Year, which is very lively.
Xiao Qiang's girlfriend brought food to Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang immediately said, "I'll come by myself, you can eat more, while Xiao Yi was busy serving Lu Zhou for dinner, but Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed and patted Xiao Yi's. Head, signaled him to eat by himself, leave him alone.
Lu Zhou told a joke, and everyone at the table laughed. Seeing that Lu Zhou was a little drunk, Xiao Yi secretly thought it was right to take him home.
After eating the reunion dinner, Xiao Qiang held a lot of firecrackers, and the four young people went downstairs to light fireworks and set off firecrackers in the community.
"Smoke and firecrackers have been banned for many years!" Lu Zhou shouted in Xiao Yi's ear.
"What!" Xiao Yi shouted at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou laughed, Xiao Yi was very courageous, and directly used the lighter to light the cannon, Lu Zhou immediately shouted: "Don't court death!"
Lu Zhou dragged Xiao Yi back, embraced him with one arm, stretched out the other hand, performed a martial arts gesture, and lit a lighter.
Xiao Yi: "..."
The sound of firecrackers was earth-shattering, Xiao Yi said: "When was the last time you watched fireworks?!"
"In Dubai!" Lu Zhou shouted with a smile.
"Are the fireworks in Dubai more beautiful than this one?!" Xiao Yi shouted with a smile.
Lu Zhou nodded, then shook his head again, with a smile on his face and the flying firecracker crumbs in his eyes.
After watching the Spring Festival Gala, everyone wished each other a happy new year, and Xiao’s father smiled and said, “When will Xiao Lu go to the Spring Festival Gala too?”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "We usually don't get invitations when we act in TV dramas. Xiao Yi works hard, maybe we can in the future."
Xiao Yi had a stern face, thinking you were kidding me?
That night, Lu Zhou's phone rang non-stop, all of them came to pay New Year's greetings. Xiao Yi sent New Year's greetings on WeChat one by one, called Duma again, went to bed early, and found a red envelope under the pillow, the red envelope "Lu" is written on the surface.
There is also Lu Zhou's signature on the back, inside is a signed photo of Lu Zhou, and a red envelope of 2,000 yuan for starting work.
in the living room.
"Come on, Uncle Xiao." Lu Zhou said.
"Hey little Lu, don't do this!"
"It's for the elders, the rules are like this, just show some kindness."
Xiao Yi looked up and saw that in the living room, Lu Zhou was giving red envelopes to his parents, and he gave another one to Xiao Qiang, saying, "Work hard and make money."
"Thank you Brother Zhou!" Xiao Qiang shouted happily.
Sitting on the bed, Xiao Yi suddenly felt sad, thinking that if he really became famous one day, he must repay Lu Zhou well.
However, in this world, there are some affections that can only go from high to low, like a torrential river, flowing from west to east forever. Some people, such as Lu Zhou, such as Duma, maybe Xiao Yi will never be able to get along in his life to repay them Status, also had to often look up, often moved.
Anyway, that’s how I am, if I don’t have the skills, I’ll die, Xiao Yi thought to himself, I’m upright and upright, Brother Zhou doesn’t want me to repay anything, just treat him sincerely, um, I have a clear conscience...Okay That's it, Happy New Year, Brother Zhou.
++++++
On the first day of the new year, Xiao Yi took Lu Zhou and drove to a nearby famous resort to soak in hot springs and eat Japanese ingredients. Lu Zhou wore a bathrobe and tidied up his hair, indicating that he didn't need to make up, and asked the company to ask post-production to solve it. Watching the DV, Lu Zhou sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the sliding door, with the green pine forest and antique decoration behind him. On New Year's Eve, there was still a little snow, and the trees were covered with a layer of light white. Lu Zhou held the New Year's red envelope in his hand, and said with a smile: "In the new year, I wish all fans academic progress and smooth work..."
"Thanks for being with you for a year..."
Holding the DV, Xiao Yi thought to himself that Lu Zhou's appearance is so handsome that no one can argue with him. He is sunny and handsome, and he is a refreshing image of the big brother next door. It is worth being scolded every day if he can follow him every day.
"Card." Xiao Yi said, "Very good."
Lu Zhou sneezed and roared, "Close the door quickly! Who thought of this background! Do you want to freeze me to death!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Qiang sent Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou to Wuhan and boarded the return flight, just in time for another round of Spring Festival travel rush.
Lu Zhou was obviously still a little unsatisfied, and said to Xiao Qiang: "Go back and help me, thank your parents for their hospitality."
"No problem!" Xiao Qiang said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, come on and film!"
When he was in the airport lounge, Lu Zhou held the phone number and pondered for a long time. Xiao Yi went to fetch him water, and when he came back, he saw Lu Zhou on the phone.
He usually had a different attitude when talking to his friends. This time, Xiao Yi almost thought that Lu Zhou was on the phone with some lover, and looked at him in surprise.
"No, I spent the New Year at my younger brother's house." Lu Zhou said, "I went to Jingshan and soaked in the hot springs. How about you?"
"Well... I see." Lu Zhou said, "I passed by Wuhan."
"Called." Lu Zhou said again: "Uncle answered the phone."
Xiao Yi sat down beside Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou glanced at him, took the water from Xiao Yi's hand, wore a famous watch on his wrist, wore an expensive suit, and his shirt formed a beautiful white border between the cuffs and the back of his hand. smile. There was a warning in Lu Zhou's eyes, and then he looked away, not looking at him.
Xiao Yi thought to himself, is Lu Zhou homesick too? He must be homesick too. He is calling his mother? It must be very lonely even if the relatives are not around.
The receptionist in the VIP lounge came over, smiled and whispered to Xiao Yi.
"Don't worry about this." Lu Zhou said: "Take care of yourself, don't quarrel with your husband, I'm on the plane, happy new year. Yes, yes, I understand." Lu Zhou hung up the phone, Posted a Weibo, blue sky and white clouds, ready to take off, to welcome the work of the new year, and also replied to Xiao Yi on Weibo.
That day, Xiao Yi's fans were wildly bullish, and it rose to more than 10,000 in an instant. The next day, Du Mei angrily scolded Lu Zhou for being crazy and careful to kill Xiao Yi. Lu Zhou couldn't bear the company's pressure and deleted Weibo.
"The distribution of Li Xing has always been very strong." Du Mei said: "I don't know when the permit will come out."
Lu Zhou got the start-up red envelope issued by the company and threw it to Xiao Yi casually. Xiao Yi got two red envelopes and was so elated. Lu Zhou said, "Whatever, what about the movie?"
"Now there are three companies, all of which want to cooperate with you." Du Mei said, "Choose one. I asked Xiao Yi to give you the annual plan yesterday. Have you read it?"
"I saw it." Lu Zhou said boredly, but he didn't read it at all.
"Which one do you choose?" Du Mei said: "This year I plan to integrate all the companies and sign more people. Now that the funds are sufficient and the contacts are almost established, only a few opponents are still a little bit difficult. If conditions permit , before the end of the year, we will prepare for the film to be released first."
Lin Yao said: "Yesterday, the screenwriter recommended by Director Li came to the company, and you were not around. We heard the idea and thought it was a good idea."
"You are both an agent and a producer, and you also have to be the director of the production." Lu Zhou said, "There are so many miscellaneous things to deal with, can you be busy? Look at Lixing, they are all managed by different departments." of."
"Take your time." Du Mei said, "At the beginning, you have to be a little bit busy. It's fine when you get on the right track. In other words, which one do you like?"
Lu Zhou said: "Anything, what are you talking about? Let me see again?"
Du Mei: "..."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Xiao Yi took out the annual report that Du Mei sent yesterday, and Du Mei said: "The people in Juhua explained the age limit for ancient costumes, and I rejected all ancient costumes."
"What about fashion dramas?" Lu Zhou said, "Anti-Japanese dramas? Don't tear the devils with your hands."
"The screenwriters are all first-line." Du Mei said: "There are good and bad producers, you can see for yourself."
Lu Zhou said: "Just this fashion drama, so as not to wait until the radio and television restrictions are too long-winded, a card will not be allowed for three years."
Xiao Yi wondered if he was going to join the group again. Du Mei said: "Okay, then wait a minute and try to get a grand slam this year. Lin Yao and I are also very optimistic about this script, but we are not sure whether you will play an idol or not." drama."
"I don't care." Lu Zhou said: "The key script must be well written, just enough blood, and less mother-in-law."
Du Mei called the film and television company in front of Lu Zhou, and then Lin Yao said, "Xiao Yi, come with me, I have something to ask you."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Xiao Yi immediately got up and said, Oh, Mr. Lin, how can you say that? Why don't you ask for advice? Just tell others to do it... Then Lu Zhou's face darkened, and he coughed. Xiao Yi immediately looked serious, thinking that Lu Zhou She only allowed herself to be servile to him, as if she didn't want to be servile to others.
Lin Yao took Xiao Yi to the next room. There were a few teenagers sitting there, reading the script. When they saw Lin Yao coming in, they all got up. Lin Yao chatted casually. Xiao Yi was puzzled, but somehow felt— Are these four teenagers newcomers?
The newcomers didn't look at Xiao Yi directly. Xiao Yi felt that these people were somewhat arrogant and had a good attitude towards Lin Yao.
"Come on, this is Teacher Xiao, who studies vocal music, and Lu Zhou's personal assistant." Lin Yao introduced Xiao Yi to them again, and the newcomer immediately shook hands with Xiao Yi and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao."
"Be polite." Xiao Yi said.
Lin Yao took a look at Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi understood that he probably wanted him to see the pronunciation and singing skills of these newcomers. Of course, since they were signed back by Du Mei, they must have some basic skills, and they should all be academics. pregnancy. Lin Yao said: "Sing anything, Xiao Yi, please give me some pointers."
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "I'm not a vocalist, so it's fine to give me advice, let's talk to each other."
So one of the newcomers sang a few lines, Xiao Yi said: "Come and let me accompany you, what will you sing?"
Xiao Yi got up and went to the piano, tried the soundtrack, the newcomer ordered a song, and began to sing. Xiao Yi's own singing skills are all due to his talent. After graduation, he hasn't sang his voice for several years, but there is still a little foundation, which can tell them apart. abilities can still be identified.
Xiao Yi listened attentively, Lu Zhou came over after finishing talking, stood outside the room, watched Xiao Yi play the piano, the newcomer sang a section, Xiao Yi said: "Okay, very good."
"Come on, next one." Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Do you usually hang your throat?"
"No." The newcomer said shyly.
Xiao Yi played another climax part, and the newcomer sang it, then the third, and the fourth.
After listening, Xiao Yi sighed: "The basic skills are better than mine."
Lin Yao smiled and said, "Not bad."
Xiao Yi said goodbye, and Lin Yao asked, "How is it?"
"Uh... still need to exercise." Xiao Yi said: "But after all, it's filming, not singing... so don't ask too much."
Lin Yao asked again: "What does Lu Zhou think?"
"It's like blinding my dog's eyes and deafing my dog's ears." Lu Zhou said politely.
Lin Yao: "..."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Lu Zhou added: "The one who plays the piano is good, you can develop it."
Xiao Yi laughed out loud, Lin Yao looked helpless, and returned to the office.
Xiao Yi had a face-to-face meeting with another person, and was shocked that it was Wu Henggu!
Wu Henggu said with a smile: "Hello Brother Zhou! Xiao Yi, we meet again!"
Lu Zhou made a sound in his nose, and walked over. Wu Henggu stretched out his hand, and was frozen in the air. Xiao Yi decisively stepped forward to catch his hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Wu Henggu had just acted as Lu Zhou's male supporting role, and the popularity of selling corrupt photos has skyrocketed. Xiao Yi knew that Lu Zhou probably felt uncomfortable, but in order not to offend others, he chatted with him a few words and whispered: "Brother Zhou Didn't sleep well yesterday."
Wuhengu nodded in understanding.
Wu Henggu has signed into Lu Zhou's economic company, and Du Mei is still trying to find ways to poach people everywhere. It seems that this year's ambition is not small. Even Lu Zhou and Wu Henggu were bundled into the fashion show together.
In this fashion drama, Lu Zhou plays a thirty-five-year-old bitter old virgin, and Wu Henggu plays a playboy.
And the first sister of Juhua Company, Tina, an American of mixed race, plays the girlfriend (lead female) who was abandoned by Wu Henggu.
Tina fell into the river after getting drunk in the bar, and was rescued by the honest man Lu Zhou and returned home.
Wu Henggu plays the illegitimate son of the chairman of Lu Zhou's media company.
The second female lead, Qiqi, plays Lu Zhou's half-sister. Qiqi had a heated fight with Wu Henggu at a car show, and tried every means to pry a corner from Wu Henggu's current girlfriend.
Xiao Yi thought to himself that the relationship between the characters is really messy and bloody. Before Lu Zhou read the script, Xiao Yi held the script and read it quietly and interestingly. He thought that apart from placing more advertisements, it is still quite attractive. .
However, after the first five episodes, it didn't look very good. Based on his serious identity of "a star who will die if he doesn't see the ending", Xiao Yi still concentrated on reading the whole story until Lu Zhou urged him several times. The next time, Xiao Yi reluctantly went to the kitchen counter when he was told to go quickly and make dinner for himself.
Lu Zhou collapsed after reading three pages.
"It's sick!" Lu Zhou roared angrily, "There are more placements than the original! What the hell is this! Is there such a shortage of money?!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
"The story is pretty good..." Xiao Yi said.
Lu Zhou picked up the script and read it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and dropped the script for the second time, saying: "The current screenwriters have reached the pinnacle of writing Lei dramas! Let my old men wear women's clothes to take pictures in the banquet hall. Try to mess with me on purpose!"
Xiao Yi laughed out loud, and was almost kneeled down by Lu Zhou in the kitchen. He also thought of Lu Zhou's reaction when he saw this paragraph just now. Enter the banquet hall, disguise yourself as a woman, and go in to find Tina.
Xiao Yi immersed himself in cooking, wearing an apron, light yellow trousers, and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. His hair looked a little long under the kitchen light.
Lu Zhou looked at the script, then looked at Xiao Yi, and said, "In a few days, you can go and buy some more clothes, so you can clean up your spirits."
"Hey." Xiao Yi said: "It doesn't matter if you join the group, no one notices me anyway."
"What are you thinking about!" Lu Zhou said, "We'll see if there is any supporting role for you to play."
Xiao Yi almost cut his hand, and said: "Cocoa... is it okay?"
"This script needs to be changed." Lu Zhou said impatiently: "Let's talk about it after joining the group."
Xiao Yi was surprised: "How to change it? Change it yourself?"
Lu Zhou said: "There are also people who bring their own screenwriters into the group! Last time, whoever made a costume drama and brought their own director into the group, this is awesome!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
"Look who's a big guy." Lu Zhou said: "The big guy has the final say, otherwise how would you let me act in this kind of women's costume play? Even if I want to play, are the supporting roles all fools? Girl, you are blind!"
Xiao Yi said: "It may be a play tailored for other leading actors."
Lu Zhou turned over again with a bored expression, and said, "Every Hengyuanxiang's implant is needed, it's so low, the international famous Metersbonwe."
As soon as Lu Zhou touched the script, he would instantly transform into a superman, and Xiao Yi was about to be laughed crazy by him. The next day, he went to the company again. Du Mei called Juhua herself and gave her advice. They promised to revise the script. Lu Zhou rose to 550,000 episodes, and Xiao Yi was speechless.
Frequently going to and from the company, Xiao Yi can probably hear some of the cost of filming from their conversations. For people like Lu Zhou, the price of one episode is sky-high. Sometimes it is packaged, and sometimes it is calculated by the number of episodes. Anyway In any case, if you calculate a play, it will not be less than 10 million.
Of course, the brokerage company still has to take a commission. Xiao Yi doesn't know the specific figure of the commission, and he dare not ask more, but a 30-episode script is often filmed in the end, and cut here and there. There are more than 30 episodes, and the reason to pay according to the number of episodes is to earn more profits, and it is also convenient to negotiate prices with actors.
In order to avoid tax, it cannot be written so high in the contract.
Usually costume dramas are much more expensive than modern dramas, with an episode costing between 1.5 million and 2.5 million, while modern dramas range from 1 million to 1.8 million. For such a small amount of money, I have to pay Lu Zhou's 550,000 yuan, and I have to distribute it to women, one woman, two men, two men and three men, and to the screenwriter, director, producer, and director of the production... and also to the director's own team, including art, lighting, photography, post-production, etc... Renting a venue Rent props and invite extras to send lunch boxes... In the end, you will more or less overrun.
However, Lu Zhou took 550,000 yuan, and the 550,000 yuan film and television company gave it willingly. After all, with Lu Zhou around, there will be ratings. When the mother turned the channel, the audience stopped and watched with interest as soon as they saw Lu Zhou's face.
Although Li Changzheng often wins awards, he is not as good as Lu Zhou in terms of ratings. Sometimes Li Changzheng can’t even handle the box office. The ancient costumes are bright red and dark, and the atmosphere is heavy. When it comes to the Spring Festival, there will be a happy New Year movie. , was blown up in minutes.
Therefore, Lu Zhou and Li Changzheng felt a bit like the king did not see the king. After hearing a round of gossip, Xiao Yi felt that his previous wish for Lu Zhou and Li Changzheng to play rival roles was silly and naive.
++++++
A few days later, the contract was signed. This time Xiao Yi was already familiar with the road. There was no major mistake in joining the group for the first time. He tried his best to figure out how to create momentum for Lu Zhou.
The topic of the breakup drama a few years ago was really hot, and the New Year’s greeting video has been hot for a while. This year, we have to find a way to keep Lu Zhou a certain amount of topic discussion when the TV series is not released. Only when the summer vacation file is online can the ratings be guaranteed.
Only then did Xiao Yi know that Li Xing had already lost a game with a certain opponent for the four-channel broadcast of the Spring Festival, and now he was waiting for a new show on the summer vacation.
It was precisely because of this incident that Du Mei strengthened her confidence in starting a film and television company, otherwise Lu Zhou would be easily controlled by others no matter what film he was filming.
Xiao Yi once asked Lu Zhou what would happen if Du Mei opened a film and television company by himself, but Lu Zhou only answered the above explanation and stopped here.
Lu Zhou measured his heart rate while running, and Xiao Yi was also forced by Lu Zhou to exercise every day in the basement, and now he can almost keep up with Lu Zhou's rhythm.
Lu Zhou wiped his sweat and said, "I'll ask you."
Xiao Yi: "Huh?"
Lu Zhou: "..."
Lu Zhou was sweating, shirtless, with a towel on his neck, sweat dripping from his hair, he said: "Every time I see you asking 'Huh?' so innocently, I will Want to beat you up. Do you know that?"
Xiao Yi said sincerely: "Create."
Lu Zhou threw the towel on Xiao Yi's head. Xiao Yi didn't know why, and was smelled of sweat by the towel that was about to wring out water.
Lu Zhou said seriously, "Do you think you belong to me, or to Mr. Du?"
"Of course it's yours—a male god!" Xiao Yi screamed, almost going up to hug Lu Zhou's strong thigh, "You are so kind to me! Send me a year-end gift!"
Lu Zhou: "..."
"Then let me tell you." Lu Zhou said, "Since you belong to me, don't talk too much about me in front of Mr. Du. I'm the one who pays you, not Mr. Du, you know?"
"Create!" Xiao Yi immediately said, "But I didn't say anything, even the contract says that everything is based on your order, and I can do whatever you ask me to do."
Lu Zhou thought for a while, got off the treadmill, and said, "Then let me tell you, Du Mei wants to expand her business, and she doesn't want to be controlled by others. She wants to train new people. This idea, she fell out with Weilin Films two years ago. There is time. In the past, the company was affiliated with Weilin."
"Oh—" Xiao Yi said, "She asked you to pick up the job, and then took your pay, didn't she?"
Xiao Yi took a can of drink for Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou's face was uncertain, and he said, "Yes."
Xiao Yi asked: "How much? Is it a lot? Did she treat you badly?"
"I didn't treat me badly. It's like this in the industry, 20%." Lu Zhou said.
Xiao Yi thought a lot, Lu Zhou could earn tens of millions for a play, and Du Mei could draw two million. However, if Du Mei did the production by himself, he would be able to earn more, which is indeed the case.
"Don't even think about it." Lu Zhou said, "You newcomers, if you want to sign her, guess how much she will beat you?"
Xiao Yi: "..."
"Eighty percent." Lu Zhou said.
Xiao Yihan, Lu Zhou went upstairs, Xiao Yi went into the bathtub again, and asked, "Then will you change jobs? Brother Zhou?"
"Do you think I will tell you if I want to change jobs?" Lu Zhou said, "Du Mei knows these things in her heart, she is smarter than me."
Xiao Yi didn't say anything more.
++++++
The weather gradually warmed up, during which Lu Zhou went to shoot some commercials, Xiao Yi just had to follow the run before and after the run. When he was not in the group, life was quite leisurely. Beijing would occasionally have sunny days, but where did Lu Zhou go? I can't go there, I can only walk on my own lawn, or read a book at home, and go to spend the night with celebrity friends, drink, and sing at night.
Xiao Yi could tell that Lu Zhou didn't want to go anywhere at first. Every time he came back from drinking, he was always in a bad mood. He would rather stay at home and watch movies, but the relationship had to be maintained. He kept going out every two days. , socializing and dealing with people every day.
As soon as he went out to do business, he had to make an appointment with Lu Zhou's makeup artist, hair stylist and clothing consultant. He went out at nine o'clock in the evening and had to make preparations at four o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's really tiring, damn it." Lu Zhou said, "Hurry up and forget about turning on the phone, it's annoying to socialize every day."
Spring is always full of all kinds of depression that cannot be vented, and Lu Zhou is also a little irritable. Fortunately, the time to start the machine is coming soon. Xiao Yi is prepared this time and bought a lot of things to meet Lu Zhou's unexpected needs.
"Are you going to move?" Lu Zhou said with a twitching expression, "Mr. Xiao, why don't you invite the crew over to our house to shoot, what's the idea?"
Xiao Yi said hehehe: "It's always better to be more prepared."
"Prepare your brother!" Lu Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, "The set is in Beijing! It's all set in Beijing. Do you like going to Hengdian to feed mosquitoes so much?!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
The next day, when Xiao Yi didn't know what to do, Du Mei called and asked him to wake up Lu Zhou quickly and go to the company.
"What are you going to do again—" Lu Zhou said helplessly, "Please forgive me—"
Xiao Yi said, "Brother Zhou, quickly change your underwear."
Lu Zhou woke up in an instant, touched the bottom, his face was flushed, he hadn't vented for a long time, and it would come out automatically in ten days and half a month, Xiao Yi went to find his underwear for him, and said: "I'll go... wash it for you, you Take a shower first."
Xiao Yi took the underwear and went downstairs to wash it. Lu Zhou's amount was too large. Xiao Yi blushed and went to the bathroom of his room to wash Lu Zhou's underwear. Lu Zhou walked into the bathroom with his bare buttocks and started to take a bath.
During the period, Du Mei made several more phone calls. Xiao Yi washed his underwear and rushed out to answer them in a gust of wind. Lu Zhou washed them after a few washes, and motioned for Xiao Yi to bring the phone. What is it?
"Hey!" Lu Zhou said, "What's sticky on the phone!"
Lu Zhou's handsome face was pressed against the phone, and it was stained with a strange liquid.
Xiao Yi ran to rub Lu Zhou's underwear again. Lu Zhou answered Du Mei's call. Du Mei said, "It's urgent. Come to the company quickly. The director and producer are waiting."
At ten o'clock that morning, in the conference room, Lu Zhou went crazy on the spot.
"I..." Lu Zhou said decisively, "I didn't push this, there is really no way! Director Guo!"
"That... Lu Zhou?" The producer motioned him to touch his face. Lu Zhou was puzzled, and after touching his face, he found that the liquid had dried up.
Xiao Yi: "..."
Xiao Yi couldn't see the right side of Lu Zhou's face when he was driving, and the sky thundered immediately, but after thinking about it, it was his own, so it was nothing. Go out and find him wet wipes right away.
As Lu Zhou wiped his face, he wanted to cry, but the one sitting in front of him was a great director who was kind to Lu Zhou. He specialized in period dramas, and his surname was Guo. Director Guo didn't force him, and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand what you said."
The producer said: "Actually, I don't hold out too much hope, I know your schedule will not be available."
Du Mei sighed, and said, "Why did such a thing happen?"
A voice in Xiao Yi's heart shouted, choose me, choose me, I am willing to act! It's a pity that it's impossible for someone to choose him. I don't want to say whether he will act or not. Once he is allowed to play the male supporting role, the show that would not be sold in the first place will not be sold.
The thing is, a film is about to start, the investment has been in place, the crew has been built, the script has been changed countless times, and after the screenwriter was changed to the hospital, it is already in perfect condition. Even the TV station expressed satisfaction after reading the script. drama. However, at this moment, the male number two and the leading actor had an accident at the same time.
The male protagonist is a half-popular and out-of-date former Shidi, and the second male protagonist is a capable actor.
The result of the two breaching the contract at the same time is that there is no suitable actor now. After discussing with each other, Director Guo seemed to be a little interested in Wu Henggu, so Du Mei and Director Guo went aside to chat.
Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou were left in the office.
"You can find that Bai Huasheng." Xiao Yi said, "Isn't he very popular in Tianya?"
"Have you seen any famous plays he has acted in?" Lu Zhou said impatiently.
Xiao Yi: "Then... what about Huang Mao?"
"The acting skills are not good, everything is not good." Lu Zhou said, "Internet celebrities belong to Internet celebrities. Being handsome is not enough for acting skills. Director Guo is a great director. He usually doesn't even go to forums. He only picks what he thinks he can control. You Have you ever seen Ang Lee go to the end of the world to pick up four denim and double ice to win the box office? Except for those fans on the Internet, who wants to watch a TV series with a vase, and it's not an antique show."
"Oh." Xiao Yi understood. Only today did he know that this behavior is called "rescue the field". There were five plays selected, all of which had passed the approval process. Among them, "Wind Piao Xu" was obviously a big hit, but because Lu Zhou was invited to play a supporting role, Du Mei thought twice, and finally reluctantly gave up.
The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is blowing, and the life experience is ups and downs. Xiao Yi really wants to act this, of course it is just a dream, daydreaming is enough, acting is very hard.
"Brother Zhou wants to go next, doesn't he?" Xiao Yi looked at his words and saw that Lu Zhou was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to get up, he pressed the handle of the chair with both hands, hesitating.
Lu Zhou didn't speak, thought for a while, and said, "Because Director Guo has supported me." He said this, but sighed again, and sat back.
"Forget it, the schedule can't be scheduled." Lu Zhou said again.
Xiao Yi began to practice his fine-pointing skills, talking to himself, pretending to be Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou, and started a conversation.
"We must repay Director Guo."
"You know what a fool!" Xiao Yi said to himself, "The showbiz circles praise the high and depress the low, it's not your popularity, who wants to invite you?!"
Lu Zhou: "..."
Xiao Yi looked like a Tuzki, holding a dictionary as a brick, slapped his head sideways on the head, then turned around, and began to sing a one-man show again: "Come on, come on, Lu Zhou is Superman!"
"You idiot!" Xiao Yi said to himself again, imitating Lu Zhou's voice and said angrily, "Have you ever filmed a movie? Are you going to pass the scene?"
"But this time it was Director Guo who came to ask for help."
"That's not because I'm popular." Xiao Yi said to himself, "If you're not popular, who will invite you?"
Lu Zhou: "You..."
Xiao Yi: "A dick like you! Don't even think about repaying anyone for the rest of your life!"
Lu Zhou: "..."
Xiao Yi: "In these days, if you want to repay, you have to be popular enough. Hey, dicks don't even have the chance to repay their kindness. It's a pity."
Xiao Yi's ability to distinguish is obviously not good. In the end, he was confused by himself, and his tone was neither like Lu Zhou nor his own. However, when he and Duma were in the dormitory before, he often used this trick to start a conversation, provoking another roommate, such as: "Hey, I really want to take the postgraduate entrance examination", "If you want to take the examination, you can take the examination", "What if you don't pass the examination?" " You don’t even take the exam, you know what a fool, is that all you have the courage to do?”… and so on.
The roommates are very fond of them, ranging from what to eat at night to taking the postgraduate entrance examination, Duma and Xiao Yi often help him tell the OS and make fun of it in groups, and finally the roommate can't bear to go to graduate school , and now he went abroad to pursue his dream as an arranger.
Lu Zhou seemed to be following the same pattern, Xiao Yi wanted to say something more, but Lu Zhou said: "Shut it up for me!"
Lu Zhou made up his mind to get up, just as Guo Dao and Du Mei passed the corridor, Lu Zhou said: "Guo Dao, please come inside, let's discuss it again."
In the afternoon, Lu Zhou signed another contract.
Director Guo invited another male lead, not because he didn't want Lu Zhou to play the leading role, as long as Lu Zhou is willing to take on any role, he can only choose any role. However, Lu Zhou has to act in two plays at the same time, and the time is very, very tight. Fortunately, the two films were filmed in Beijing, so there was no need to travel too far, so Lu Zhou took the job of saving the scene for the sake of the director, and the director immediately asked someone to arrange to find another crew to match the time and stagger all of Lu Zhou's work. play.
As soon as Lu Zhou came home, he came back to his senses and roared angrily, "Xiao Yi! I'm going to be killed by you!"
Xiao Yi immediately hid, Lu Zhou threw the script on Xiao Yi's head and flew all over the ground.
Xiao Yi: "..."
Lu Zhou: "..."
Lu Zhou hasn't taken over the job of two films running at the same time and the schedules are completely embedded together for many years, except that when he first debuted, he played a supporting role and had to rush to the scene in three sets, but it was a supporting role after all... Now it is a leading role, a male supporting role role.
"What script are you still reading!" Lu Zhou roared, "Hurry up and make a schedule for me!"
While arranging the working hours for Lu Zhou against the calendar, Xiao Yi made a settlement with Lu Zhou's personal costumer. Three days after starting the machine, he had to attend the Shanghai Film Festival.
After finishing the first week, Lu Zhou's work schedule was full, Xiao Yi said, "Huh?"
Lu Zhou asked vigilantly, "What?"
Xiao Yi said: "Actually, there are very few night shows. With this schedule, I can still take on another play."
Lu Zhou: "..."
"Mr. Xiao." Lu Zhou said solemnly, "You have to treat the cash cow well, understand? Although I earn a lot, when I am in a good mood, I may, maybe, depending on the situation, I will occasionally tip you a little bit so much. Limited A little bit of broth," and then yelled, "But if you're a male god, I'll be so mad! You're going to be on the streets! Get it!"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Xiao Yi knew that Lu Zhou was quite happy. He was a person who attached great importance to emotions. From the day and night with him for less than a year, Xiao Yi really felt this about Lu Zhou. He doesn't believe what people say, he only sees what others do, and others treat him well. Although he doesn't admit it, he will always remember it in his heart.
Of course, he will also hold grudges against those who treat him badly.
For example, on the first day of work, Lu Zhou yelled fiercely at the prop assistant of the first crew, just because the prop assistant saw Xiao Yi standing by the wall, afraid that he could not hear him, and said loudly: "Hey! Stand there!"
Lu Zhou's face darkened immediately, and he said, "This is my assistant. Don't look at me and yell at him. I yell at him. I yell at him. Others can't yell at him."
As soon as Lu Zhou opened his mouth, the assistant immediately realized that he had misjudged the person, and hurriedly apologized to Xiao Yi, and the teacher who brought him also came to apologize, so Lu Zhou gave up.
Xiao Yi originally thought that he already knew how to play in the film crew, but filming in Beijing is completely different from Hengdian. The real estate sponsor I was looking for asked for a model room, and a group of people swarmed in like locusts, and then blocked the passage, erecting lamps and laying boards, just like shooting advertisements.
"How much is this house?" Xiao Yi said.
The house was very big and spacious, and it was decorated as a cubicle in an office building. The director sat and read the script and said, "It's more than eight million yuan. The houses here are expensive. Why, want to buy a set?"
"I can't afford it." Xiao Yi said.
Xiao Yi looked up and looked around.
The director speaks in a Beijing accent, talks like Tanci, and is usually joking. Xiao Yi sits by the side, thinking that this movie must not be as tiring as filming in Hengdian. No wonder everyone likes to shoot this kind of low-cost production. , The script is bloody enough, the director is easy, the actors are easy, and it saves money.
"Come on." The director said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, I don't dare to tell you a play, you can do whatever you want."
Everyone laughed, Lu Zhou looked serious, and said nothing, knowing that the director loves to talk and laugh, so he didn't say much to him, changed his clothes, went over, and lay down on the table.
Lu Zhou changed into a white shirt and trousers, with disheveled hair, a pair of glasses, and old sneakers. He lay on the table for a lunch break, with his face pressed against the table, and he slept with his mouth slightly open.
"Hey—" said a choppy female editor, "wake up!"
Lu Zhou shuddered suddenly, grabbed his glasses everywhere, and when he looked up, he happened to see the female editor's chest. He yelled, his face flushed, and he fell down.
Lu Zhou's actions were very exaggerated, but very interesting. Xiao Yi didn't expect Lu Zhou to act in a modern drama like this, which was completely different from what he imagined. When Xiao Yi was reading the script, he thought several times that Lu Zhou should play a playboy like Wu Henggu. Who else could be like Lu Zhou, wearing a suit and unbuttoning his shirt, sitting on the sofa with a wine glass in his hand? ?
Surrounded by beauties, and the butler stands aside, this kind of character with an aggressive temperament is Lu Zhou's first choice!
However, Lu Zhou played an old virgin in his thirties, but he was so vivid that Xiao Yi almost didn't know him.
The camera moved forward and took a picture of Lu Zhou's face. Lu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed his glasses a few times, sat down in a hurry, pushed both hands on the table, and turned the pen flexibly with the other hand. The pen was very flexible. , from thumb to middle finger to little finger in a circular motion.
Almost everyone couldn't help applauding. Lu Zhou's expression, demeanor, and movements were all very engaging.
"Go and interview me!" The female editor-in-chief threw a stack of manuscripts on Lu Zhou's face, flew all over the ground, and then patrolled the office.
"The quality of last month's manuscript is really bad." The female editor said, "Be serious."
Lu Zhou looked helpless, looked at the ceiling, then got up with his coat.
"Card." The director said.
The assistants stepped forward to make arrangements, and the scene was over.
It was followed by Lu Zhou's scene. He was alone in front of the cabinet, flipping through the materials, and stopped by to answer the office phone.
"Okay!" Lu Zhou said, "right away!"
Lu Zhou ran out quickly, then almost slipped, and ran back to look through the file folder, and took an old photo.
"Card."
In the next scene, Lu Zhou was lying on the swivel chair with his feet crossed, took off his shoes, put them on the desk, and looked up at the ceiling. The camera zooms in and pats his face. Lu Zhou was silent for a moment, then sighed, holding a photo in his hand, he swallowed with difficulty, his eyes were a little red.
Three seconds later, Lu Zhou burst out laughing.
Everyone: "..."
"Who prepared the photo!" Lu Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he threw the photo on the table and said, "What are you doing for a photo of a giant panda! Even the best actor can't cry!"
The entire crew was going to be laughed out of their wits, the director asked: "Who brought the old photo, did the heroine bring it?"
"It's not done yet." The prop said, "How about changing the angle?"
"I have." Xiao Yi said.
Xiao Yi had a childhood photo in his wallet and gave it to Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou glanced thoughtfully and signaled the director to start.
Xiao Yi motioned for eye drops, Lu Zhou waved his hand.
Lu Zhou is holding the photo. In the script, after the heroine leaves, the hero keeps photos of her as a child, and then there are countless flashbacks, lyrical theme songs, and sensational memories. The hero will also have a crying scene. .
Xiao Yi hasn't watched Lu Zhou's serious crying scenes yet, so he simply can't understand how a person can cry anytime and anywhere. Lu Zhou cried when he was filming "Iron Horse and Glacier", but that kind of crying is more Silent, silent choking is much simpler, because tears are roared out, and when emotions are pushed to the extreme, it is easy to collapse.
Silent tears are the hardest. Lu Zhou looked at the photo quietly, and within five seconds, tears welled up in his eyes. Then, gasping for breath, Lu Zhou shivered and stuffed the photo under the glass on the table.
Xiao Yi was frightened on the spot, the surroundings were silent, Lu Zhou rubbed his face with both hands, like a child trembling with sadness, choked up, the camera moved forward, Lu Zhou's eyes were full of tears, he held back his sadness , took a long breath, and got up.
"Card!" the director said.
Several people were applauding. Lu Zhou went back and took out the photo, and returned it to Xiao Yi. He let out a tired breath. Xiao Yi was afraid that he would be too involved for a while, and his feelings had not calmed down. He handed him a bottle of water, and Lu Zhou drank it. mouth, silently looking at the venue.
Things are in place, Lu Zhou is sitting, seems to be immersed in something sad. Xiao Yi touched his back carefully, as if to comfort him, Lu Zhou laughed.
"Ms. Lu, put on makeup." The director reminded.
Lu Zhou got up to put on makeup, and the next scene was the editor-in-chief yelling at Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou lowered his head and stood in front of the editor-in-chief. A male editor-in-chief was half-sitting against his desk, 30 centimeters shorter than Lu Zhou. , nagging him a lesson.
"I quit!" Lu Zhou finally broke out.
Xiao Yi was taken aback again, Lu Zhou pointed at the editor-in-chief's nose and said, "Don't deceive me too much!"
The editor-in-chief was stunned, and after three seconds, he forgot the words.
"Hey—" Everyone was powerless.
Lu Zhou waved his hand to indicate that it's okay, so he had to come again.
After the two quarreled, the editor-in-chief said: "Okay, you bring the seeds, Kou Bin, go tell the boss, I bet you don't dare to tell the boss-you go-"
The editor-in-chief was triumphant, but Lu Zhou just looked at him silently, with suppressed anger in his eyes, like an awakened lion.
The camera turns away.
In the next game, the midfielder will play.
Lu Zhou stood still and said to the editor-in-chief, "What?! Why is it me again?"
The female editor-in-chief said helplessly: "The other party asked you to receive him by name. The son of our group boss, why don't you have some refreshments."
Lu Zhou: "I have an appointment tonight, and I have something to do."
The female editor shrugged.
"Draw me a watch." Lu Zhou came down and said to Xiao Yi, "Would you? Be cuter."
Xiao Yi held Lu Zhou's hand, buried his head on his wrist, and drew a cartoon watch. Lu Zhou went to act again.
Lu Zhou packed his things and heard his colleagues talking about him by the drinking fountain. He stopped for a while. Lu Zhou held the sleeves of his white shirt and drew a watch on his wrist with a ballpoint pen. He looked up at the camera for no reason, and pushed He took off his glasses, his eyes were full of confusion, like a handsome boy who didn't know he was handsome at all.
Suddenly red hearts popped out of Xiao Yi's eyes.
"Ca—" the director said, "This morning's scene is here, Mr. Lu has worked hard."
Lu Zhou immediately went to change clothes and said, "I have to go to Beiying in the afternoon, so let's go first."
Xiao Yi drove, and Lu Zhou ate in the car. After eating, Xiao Yi parked the car in the garage, and the two ran into the studio. Lu Zhou finished his makeup, sat on a chair, and greeted everyone.
"Director Guo." Lu Zhou said with a smile, "I've been waiting for a long time."
"It's early." Director Guo said with a smile, "I called Xiaoyi just now, and told you not to rush, and come back after lunch. Come, let me tell you about the show."
Lu Zhou waved his hand, the logistics was delivering bento, Lu Zhou said to Xiao Yi: "Go and eat."
Xiao Yi received a lunch box, and Director Guo said to Lu Zhou, "You read all the scripts yesterday."
"I haven't finished watching." Lu Zhou replied, "I watched all of today's plays."
"Can you grasp the characters' personalities?" Director Guo asked patiently, "If you have an idea, I won't say it."
Xiao Yi opened a can of Coke, thinking that Director Guo is really nice. Although he is fifty years old, he is still very elegant and patient. What actor doesn't like him? Sure enough, you still have to meet the right person to make your debut.
"Xu Fengyan." Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "Although he lives in the house of his uncle who is a businessman, his father is from a scholarly family, and most of the family are scholars. The name comes from Wen Tianxiang's poem "Song of Righteousness."
"Yes." Guo Dao nodded and said, "The eaves show the books and read, the ancient roads illuminate the colors, and he has the arrogance of a scholar. In the Kuomintang military system, he is an idealist. His whole life, until his death, has a kind of backbone. I The reason why I asked you to play him is because Hu Yang can't play such a multi-faceted role."
"Well." Lu Zhou flipped through the script and said, "Xu Fengyan was very angry when he was slandered as a traitor."
"But he has to endure." Director Guo patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile, "A man can bend and stretch. Compared with him as a young man, Feng Yan grew up together, more mature and more responsible. Others have thousands of faces. You also have thousands of faces... Hahaha."
Lu Zhou laughed, looked back at Xiao Yi, with a smile in his eyes, Xiao Yi's heart moved, and he handed him the Coke, Lu Zhou took it, Xiao Yi wanted to wipe the easy-open can with a tissue He took a sip, but Lu Zhou waved his hand to signal that he didn't need it, and took a sip from the place where Xiao Yi drank.
Director Guo slowly opened the lid of the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said: "One person has thousands of faces, he is entangled, he is painful, he is troubled, he is longing for love, but he knows he can't bear it, and he can't be extravagant. He is desperate." , you need to release your truest emotions through the role, to find the true self in your heart."
Lu Zhou didn't answer, but nodded. Director Guo said, "This is the overall impression of this character."
"Director Guo, what do you think of Hu Yang's performance?" Lu Zhou asked.
"The situation I saw this morning is not bad." Director Guo said, "It's not easy to find someone like him. Of course, these people can't compare with you."
Lu Zhou was busy being modest, and Director Guo said: "I have something to say. Hu Yang is playing your younger brother. You two will play opposite each other in the first scene this afternoon. I think, of course, this is just my personal opinion. You can Bring it up and discuss it with me."
Lu Zhou looked at Director Guo, nodded, and listened to him.
Director Guo said again: "The relationship between brothers is tolerant, strict, but meticulous. The so-called elder brother is like a father. No matter how unreasonably the younger brother makes trouble with you, how misunderstood you, misunderstood you, you will not be angry. , isn’t it? Brother?”
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Yes." Xiao Yi was still wondering, wondering how Director Guo knew he had a younger brother.
Guo Dao pointed to Xiao Yi, and said to Lu Zhou: "Xu Fengyan loves Xu Shujiang, just like you treat your little brother."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Director Guo said: "You will care about the person closest to you, what is going on recently, and even worry about his love, for fear that he will learn badly, and hope..." Director Guo made a grabbing gesture and said, "Control him, let him He will always be a child who obeys you, it is a kind of doting, and deep in his heart, he also looks forward to him growing up, because he also has his responsibilities in this family."
"Understood." Lu Zhou said.
"Go change your clothes." Director Guo said with a smile, "Everyone is looking forward to your performance."
Speaking of that, Director Guo gave Lu Zhou a thumbs up. Lu Zhou handed the rest of the Coke to Xiao Yi, and went to change clothes.
Someone came to ask Director Guo for instructions. Director Guo nodded and smiled most of the time. Xiao Yi sat next to him, feeling a little uneasy after eating. It feels like a kind old professor!
"What's your name?" Director Guo asked Xiao Yi.
After Xiao Yi answered, Director Guo nodded and asked, "How long have you been with Lu Zhou?"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi said, how could it sound like you two have been in love for a long time? Of course, a person of Guo Dao's age should not be able to tease others, so he said: "I came to be his assistant last winter, almost half a year."
Director Guo nodded, and said, "Xiao Lu is very talented in acting, but if a person is talented in art, his life will be lost."
"Hahaha." Xiao Yi laughed and said, "Yes."
Director Guo said again: "You have to take good care of him."
"That's right." Xiao Yi said, "I've been learning how to be an assistant."
Director Guo hummed in satisfaction, Xiao Yi thought to himself that it was awesome, probably in this crew, there is no gossip, and there is no performance eager for quick success, filming is filming.
After following three film crews and hearing a lot of gossip in the WeChat circle, Xiao Yi gradually realized that different film crews also have great styles, and sometimes they are completely different. There are directors like Guo who are serious about filming when they start up , Thinking over and over again, discussing roles, there are also "Iron Horse and Glacier", where the director's family has the final say, and fame controls the entire audience, and there are also "Leftover Men's Era" filmed in the morning, where the purpose of filming is to complete Tasks, make money, and leave when you get the money.
