After recording the commentary and hosting script and roughly determining the recording time for the next episode, Lu Yuan got on the plane back to Hengdian.
Although several leaders of the Piano Association and Director Zhou Xianzu of CCTV hope that Lu Yuan can stay in Yanjing for ten days and a half, and even hope that Lu Yuan can move the company to Yanjing in the future, Lu Yuan feels that he is really a little bit dumb.
Can't live.
Although Yanjing is very nice and prosperous, Lu Yuan always feels that Yanjing is really not suitable for him.
Of course, it is not the consumption level of Yanjing that is the problem, but Lu Yuan feels that the air in Yanjing is bad, the traffic is blocked, and there is an indescribable feeling of unfamiliarity.
After all, he is still a person who cares about his family.
My hometown is one, and Hengdian is also my home.
So Lu Yuan felt that his foundation was there.
Not long after getting off the plane back in Hengdian, Lu Yuan received a call from Director James.
James was very happy and excited on the phone.
August 1st.
That movie "California Nights" is finally going to be released in the United States.
James values this movie very much. He hopes to win Oscars with this movie, and if he's lucky, he can win a statuette or something.
Lu Yuan naturally gave James a good blessing on the phone, such as "I'm going to win and everything will come true"...
After the blessing, Lu Yuan hung up the phone and didn't take it to heart at all.
In fact, Lu Yuan has absolutely nothing to do with how much this movie earns at the box office...
And Oscar?
Lu Yuan would never even dream of such a high-end place. He felt that this thing was too far away from him.
It's not as realistic as making more money yourself.
Philistine, you say?
Lu Yuan also felt that he was a philistine, and Lu Yuan himself began to reflect on himself several times.
As for the usefulness, as for changing from now on?
How is this possible!
Just do some symbolic self-reflection and self-criticism. Isn’t this just for psychological comfort?
What to do next...
After returning to Hengdian this time, Lu Yuan found that he felt a lot more relaxed.
The piano thing is over...
The commentary and hosting has also ended.
Many tedious pressures have been eliminated, and what awaits Lu Yuan next is the filming of "Westward Journey".
Assistant director Li Qi was quite conscientious. When Lu Yuan left, he had already roughly determined the filming location of "Westward Journey", the formation of the crew, and then the casting of the actors.
In fact, artists from other entertainment companies are constantly looking for various channels to get some information about the casting issues of "Westward Journey".
Why?
The popularity of "Westward Journey" skyrocketed after the popularity of "The Legend of Wukong". With the plot in "The Legend of Wukong", Zixia, Tianpeng and other characters have become everyone's discussion points.
Some people have even begun to speculate on the direction of the plot and characters of "Westward Journey".
Will it become an uncomfortable tragedy like "The Legend of Wukong"?
Of course, in addition to these, more and more artists want to join "remote" companies.
From day to night, the phone at the company's front desk kept ringing. Xu Lu, who answered the phone, felt like there was something wrong with her brain these days.
Every day when I lie in bed and dream, I dream that I am answering the phone.
This taste...
Really fucked.
Although they have made it very clear that the company will not recruit new artists for the time being, they are still trying every means to build relationships and create backdoors.
What can Xu Lu do?
She is helpless!
June 18, night.
Wu Tingting came to Lu Yuan's office again with a lot of information.
"Mr. Lu, these are the profiles of artists who want to join our company. Among them are many young talents who are ready to change jobs when their contracts expire..."
"Didn't I say that the company doesn't need new artists for the time being?"
"This...it's good that these little fresh meats have some potential...and our company is booming now, and we really need some new forces..." Wu Tingting hesitated and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Turn them all down. We are a small company now, and a small company cannot accommodate so many artists... Although the company seems to be booming and developing well, these things are just superficial, like a bubble. If the bubble bursts, everything will
We are about to return to our original shape... Our artists are not good enough." Lu Yuan looked at Wu Tingting seriously.
"Mr. Lu, I understand." Wu Tingting nodded.
"Well, that's good. I understand. Is there anything else to do next?"
"The next thing...the discussion about your first love is very popular on the Internet...all your classmates from your school days have been dug out one by one..."
"..." Lu Yuan felt quite cheating when he heard this.
All my classmates from my school days were dug out...
Damn it, what are these people going to do?
Do you want to dig out all eighteen generations of your ancestors?
Speechless.
Is my first love so worthy of being explored?
"What about the others?"
"Nothing else is going on. The film "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" directed by Li You has finally passed the review of the relevant departments and will be released around August 1."
"August 1st..." Lu Yuan became very sensitive after hearing this number.
On August 1st, "California Nights" will also begin to be released.
"Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" collides with "California Nights"...
I guess it’s pretty brutal?
After all, the box office competitiveness of a literary and artistic film like "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" is really deceptive.
"Director Li probably doesn't have much hope for this movie either..."
"Yes, I know." Lu Yuan nodded, then looked out the window silently.
These things have absolutely nothing to do with him.
"The next question is about "Westward Journey". Mr. Lu, do you have any plans for the casting of "Westward Journey"? Agents of artists from other companies are very interested in this casting... many of them are old dramas.
Bones and fresh meat with small flow..."
"Well, these things..." Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, and then he remembered that Yanying's principal Zheng Jianguo had called him before. The purpose of the call was to ask Lu Yuan about his arrangements for "Westward Journey".
"Mr. Lu?"
"I plan to find the supporting roles from the extras in Hengdian. Although many of the extras look a bit grassroots, they are not a big problem. As for the important supporting roles, they are mainly artists from the company... Well, I plan to listen to some of the roles.
Listen to what Yan Ying’s Principal Zheng has planned..."
"Principal Zheng?"
"Well, Principal Zheng, as for the artists from other companies, I hope to find some experienced actors with acting skills. You can screen them and leave their information and specific quotations. If it matches the script of our "Westward Journey", it will not be
Can't think about it..."
"Mr. Lu, do you want to have an audition like before?"
"It's too troublesome... We won't have such an audition this time. Everything will be low-key, and we will accumulate more experience."
"Low-key, accumulate more knowledge..." Wu Tingting heard the word "low-key" from Lu Yuan's mouth again, which was inconsistent no matter how she heard it.
You are making headlines every day and making hot topics every day. Do you call this a low profile?
There is really a big difference between you and low-key, right?
"In short, this is the company's current arrangement. "Westward Journey" has been delayed for too long. Let's hurry up now."
"Well, I understand. By the way, Mr. Lu, there is one more thing. I heard the news that Joaquin now has an additional executive vice president."
"Executive Vice President?"
"Well, I heard reports over there that the vice president seems to be here with bad intentions. He is also preparing a movie to snipe us... Should we also make some arrangements?"
"What arrangement we make, as long as we keep a low profile and be stable, and don't deal with all those messy and fancy things, it won't be a big problem..." Lu Yuan didn't care about these things at all.
Even if you, Joaquin, change more vice presidents, it doesn't matter to Lu Yuan.
Who should eat, who should sleep with, who should make money...
Others...
Lu Yuan was too lazy to have such gossip thoughts, and he came to snipe him...
How to snipe?
"Oh, okay." Wu Tingting nodded and left the office after finishing the matter.
Although she saw Lu Yuan's nonchalant expression, Wu Tingting was very worried.
She actually had someone investigate the information of the company's vice president, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any information. She only knew that others called her Mr. Xu. At the same time, Joaquin carried out a series of almost thunderous rectifications, and it seemed that
There are rumors that something big is going to happen.
As for other information...
Joaquín actually kept this secret.
Unknown opponents are the most terrifying!
However, I should know the true identity of Mr. Xu tomorrow.
Wu Tingting narrowed her eyes.
Although the night was very quiet, Wu Tingting didn't know why she felt like it was the calm before the storm.
In the office.
Just when Lu Yuan was about to go to sleep, the phone rang.
"Hello……"
"Huh? Dad?"
Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard the call.
"Lu Yuan, how is the company lately?"
"The company is fine, what's wrong?"
"Oh, our family's catering industry is also quite good. Many dishes..." Lu Yuan's father smiled, and there was a little bit of arrogance in his conversation. He actually referred to a small restaurant as a catering industry...
…
Lu Yuan suddenly realized that his father was still okay.
Although the small restaurant is still a small restaurant, my father's net profit during this period was over 300,000 yuan.
Three hundred thousand, less than a year, not counting my uncle's takeaway business...
This is really good.
However, after Lu Yuan's father talked, the topic began to go a little sideways.
It actually got involved in the messy things that happened while studying.
"Dad...just get to the point..."
"Oh, Lu Yuan... Who is that love letter you wrote to? Many reporters came over to ask me. I couldn't help but brag for a while and wanted to advertise our new store in Hengdian... But now
…For a moment, I was so awesome that I couldn’t take it back…”
"..."
After Lu Yuan heard his father's timid voice on the other end of the phone, his head suddenly hurt.
Damn...
Why are you asking this question again?
Damn it, how do I know who that love letter was written to?
It’s day!
Why the hell did I write a chicken love letter in the first place!
No, this love letter was not written by me, but by the original Lu Yuan...
This is none of my business...
…………………………
Joaquin.
"Yes, spread the news tomorrow and occupy the headlines!"
"Yes, let all the news get out. At the same time, the hype side should keep up and invite more reporters!"
"Don't worry about anything. Many things require taking the first step. If the first step is successful, the follow-up will be even more successful."
"Just understand."
"Well, I have a trump card."
"..."
The night is deep.
Mr. Xu looked at the busy world in the distance and smiled.
Lu Yuan is indeed an arrogant and god-like existence in the Chinese entertainment industry.
But……
So what?
God will eventually fall.
She closed her eyes.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She knew Lu Yuan.
I have known Lu Yuan a long, long time ago.
However, Lu Yuan didn't recognize her at all when they met again!
Treating her as a stranger, she has even hinted several times that she has connections in Hollywood and she can help him...
but……
But he rejected her as if he didn't understand.
She could only smile and turn around to leave.
It is undeniable that Lu Yuan is indeed talented and can write many imaginative movies.
She can even write a script like "This Man Is From Earth" that makes her feel absolutely amazing.
But, so what?
The screenwriters in Hollywood aren’t too bad either!
Yes, you are a genius. Your talent has shocked many people. You are strong in all fields.
However, you are still alone after all.
And I now control dozens of first-line artists and hundreds of quasi-first-line artists in Joaquin.
Will you start to regret it after you actually try and experience the bitter consequences of failure?
