"Westward Journey" is still being filmed step by step, and has gradually started shooting from the early stages to the end.
Of course, the shooting is not fast. Not only is it not fast, but it is getting slower and slower.
In the early stages of filming, the difficulty was very low, but as the end gradually approached, the difficulty of the film also increased.
As the descriptions of many details and the emotional tone are elevated, the requirements for others also become correspondingly higher.
After the end of October, the originally harsh weather gradually became a little cooler. Although there is a saying of autumn tiger, the temperature has been much better than in summer.
Fatty Wei is basically nowhere to be seen in "Westward Journey".
After Fatty Wei finished filming his role in "Westward Journey" and the scenes of "My Deskmate", he returned to Hengdian to continue setting up the filming location for the main scenes.
Although "My Deskmate" is a youth film that Chinese people are not very optimistic about at the moment, Lu Yuan can see that Fatty Wei is really working hard on the film, and seems to be holding back an indescribable energy.
Try hard.
Although Fatty Wei can occasionally be a jerk in his daily life, he always maintains a diligent attitude toward the movies he produces.
With the addition of Li Qi and the popularity of "This Man is from Earth", Fatty Wei obviously has a sense of crisis.
This sense of crisis actually originated on the Internet.
I don’t know since when many people on the Internet felt that Fatty Wei’s success was completely inseparable from Lu Yuan.
He said that without Lu Yuan's help, Fatty Wei's movies would definitely fall down several levels. It would even be impossible to earn 100 million at the box office, let alone win any "Best Director" award.
Fatty Wei didn't care at first.
He felt that this was completely a villain who was destroying the relationship between him and Lu Yuan.
But as time passed and the voices on the Internet became louder and louder, Fatty Wei finally paid attention.
He calmed down and seriously reflected on the reasons for the success of his movie. He asked himself, if he had not met Lu Yuan, where would he be now...
Will you succeed?
Or am I still the little gangster who spits next to Shen Lianjie's set?
After the soul torture, the answer Fatty Wei came up with made him very desperate.
He had indeed accomplished nothing in the past. If he had not met Lu Yuan, he would have been nothing...
Lu Yuan?
Yes!
He suddenly realized that everything he had was given by Lu Yuan.
What if "Buried Alive", "Nomadland" and "Groundhog Day" were directed by another director?
He changed his position to another director and thought about it. He somehow had the illusion that other directors could produce such awesome films that hit the box office.
The more he thought about the end, he even had the feeling that his "Best Director" was actually full of water content.
No wonder these netizens on the Internet question him.
Their doubts are justified.
So, am I really not good at it?
Fatty Wei, who had always been very proud and felt that he was arrogant, began to doubt himself for the first time.
Some things are like a seed planted in the heart. As the seed gradually sprouts and grows, it gradually starts to go wrong.
As the team became more and more capable, his sense of crisis became stronger and stronger...
Li Qi, Lu Yihong, Shen Zhiwei, Wang Long...
Everyone has made certain achievements in their own field.
Everyone is so strong, but if you don’t have a masterpiece in the company, how can you live up to the title of company veteran?
What will new people who join the company think about it in the future?
This world is a world for the strong, and only the strong are entitled to respect.
Fatty Wei understands this truth very well.
so……
He has always wanted to prove his worth in "remote" entertainment.
He was holding his breath and wanted to prove his directorial ability!
"My Deskmate" seems to Fatty Wei to be a strong proof of himself!
…………………………
"Are you okay?"
"fine."
"Didn't sleep?"
"I've slept, but I just can't fall asleep."
"Are you worried?"
"More or less, I haven't tried it before..."
"Don't believe in yourself?"
"This is not..."
"Let's sit down and drink tea first."
"No...I don't drink tea. Just drink some boiled water."
"OK……"
October 29th.
Zhou Shuai arrived in Yinchuan by plane and went straight to the crew.
After not seeing each other for a while, Lu Yuan was instantly frightened by Zhou Shuai's unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes.
This looks like an Internet-addicted young man who stayed up all night for two days and two nights playing games in an Internet cafe.
Zhou Shuai couldn't bear it anymore and finally resigned.
Of course, when I resigned, I did look very cool. I felt that I was the only one in the world and that I was free to stay with my boss. I was not bothered by the editor-in-chief’s intrusion and threats. But after the second day of resignation, Zhou Shuai
Suddenly I felt uneasy.
There are thousands of newspapers, large and small, in the entertainment industry, and there are countless reporters. Needless to say, the competition is overwhelming...
Although Zhou Shuai rarely used the resources of the newspaper when he was working on the China Peripheral Entertainment Newspaper, people in the entertainment industry would more or less give him some face after he reported his name to the newspaper. But after he left, he started his own business...
Zhou Shuai suddenly had no idea.
So he is worried.
He searched through the night for those less famous newspapers in China that were on the verge of bankruptcy. At the same time, he repeatedly screened the newspapers, hoping to find any newspaper with a slightly bigger reputation.
However, Zhou Shuai discovered that the more famous newspapers were all doing very well, while the ones on the verge of bankruptcy were completely unknown.
It is completely impossible for Zhou Shuai to encounter a famous company that encounters a financial crisis, and then the protagonist buys 70-80% of the shares without saying anything.
"These are ten newspapers...their average price is between four million and six million..." After sitting across from Lu Yuan and taking a sip of water, Zhou Shuai couldn't wait to hand over all the large and small information about the company.
to Lu Yuan, and then looked at Lu Yuan with a slightly uneasy look.
"This is Chaoyang Entertainment." Lu Yuan took the stack of information and read it for a few minutes before looking up at Zhou Shuai.
"Ah...Ayuan, this newspaper is the smallest in scale...the potential assessment is the smallest."
"Small?"
"Well, among these ten newspapers, he is the youngest..."
"Does it matter?"
"In terms of resources, popularity, and geographical location, this newspaper is the smallest. At the same time, compared with ten other newspapers, there is no online traffic at all..."
"Does it matter if I say this?"
"Ah?" Zhou Shuai looked at Lu Yuan with confusion in his eyes.
"The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous; if the water is not deep, there will be dragons. The quality of a company does not depend on its size... As for popularity, newspapers are run by people, and what kind of people can have them?"
What kind of newspaper..." Lu Yuan threw all the other newspapers into the trash can, leaving only Chaoyang Entertainment News.
"If the mountain is not high, then there will be immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons." Zhou Shuai was stunned. While he felt that this sentence was very reasonable, he looked at Lu Yuan blankly: "Is this sentence from ancient prose?
?”
"Well, yes, it comes from "The Inscription on the Humble Room"..."
""The Inscription on the Humble Room"?"
"Well, yes, I mean, what you value is really not that important... Let me ask you, is "remote" entertainment small?"
"Small."
"Is it well-known?"
"Well...it's hard to say overseas, but at least it's very well-known in China...at least no one in the entertainment industry doesn't know about "remote" entertainment..." Zhou Shuai nodded seriously.
"No...I don't mean that. What I mean is, when "Remote" Entertainment first opened, was it well-known? Did it have traffic? Did it have an official website?"
"I understand." Zhou Shuai suddenly understood!
He was also present when "remote" entertainment was established.
Last year, "Remote" Entertainment was just a handbag company that was worse than a handbag company...
That door can be opened with just a little kick, it's just...
It looks very much like a temporary company fabricated by some pyramid schemes.
However, this company has managed to survive in the entertainment industry, and its reputation is getting bigger and bigger now.
"A company is just a shell, the key is to look at the people who run it..." Lu Yuan smiled, "The rising sun is so festive, it symbolizes rebirth, doesn't it?"
"Hmm...then...then buy this one?"
"You should find an opportunity to chat with the person in charge of this newspaper. If the conversation is similar, I will buy it for you for four million."
"Okay, by the way, if we buy the newspaper, how will we deal with the subsequent resource management?"
"Mr. Xu from Joaquin is very nice. I'll say hello to her later and ask her to give you some privileges. Aren't you the best at promoting scandals? Isn't it your strength to make up stories based on pictures? Also, entertainment
Newspapers do not necessarily have to interview people in the entertainment industry. We can also expand the game industry and leave some game pages, such as "Plants vs. Zombies"
Isn't "Corpse" very popular? There are many games to be released in the future. I'd like to say hello to Mr. Liu, and you should go and get to know him... Of course, am I not quite famous in China now? You can definitely give me a makeover.
You can do some gossip or something to catch people's attention, as long as it's not too much... You can also advertise for "Westward Journey", ahem, just to make it popular, right?"
"etc……"
"What's wrong?"
"If I remember correctly, "Plants vs. Zombies" was created by your game company, right?"
"Yeah...cough, cough!"
"Fuck... Ayuan, what the hell are you? No wonder you have been encouraging me to resign before, saying that you only have to seize the day for a great future! So, you really want me to help you promote and advertise?" Zhou Shuai stood up instantly.
He stared at Lu Yuan as if he was hurt. "Besides, you help your company advertise, and you can also earn some advertising traffic fees. You...are you digging a hole to wait for me?"
"Brother Zhou, how can you think so, digging holes? Am I someone who digs holes for others? People who know me, Lu Yuan, think that I am an honest person, and you really can't stay any longer, right?
?Can you bear the grievances you suffered there? Working for others, how can a self-reliant serf sing comfortably? Don’t you want to slap yourself in the face and counterattack? "
"..."
"I just proposed to resign. Does the proposal count as instigation?" Lu Yuan said seriously.
"???"
"I will pay all the money for the newspaper. You are responsible for running the newspaper. Except for my participation in major matters, you have the final say. I will give you 30% of the shares, and I will find ways to provide you with some resources and allow you to use me.
Don’t you think it’s bad for your portrait rights and the right to read pictures and make stories? I’m making a big sacrifice..." Lu Yuan spread his hands and continued to look serious and innocent.
"What you said makes sense, I...can't refute..." Zhou Shuai's face turned red from suppressing his emotions.
"So, do you think I'm reasonable?"
"Reasonable."
"Is it good for you?"
"have."
"Then can you do it?"
"Do."
"Isn't that great?"
"..."
It seems a little bit aggrieved.
It seems that from the time he met Lu Yuan until now, he has been dug into by Lu Yuan?
And he digs the kind of pits he is willing to jump into.
What the hell...
Zhou Shuai suddenly felt that he was messy in the wind...
…………………………
After leaving Yinchuan, Zhou Shuai was in a daze.
Lu Yuan is such a person.
Although he can be a jerk sometimes, in a sense Lu Yuan is really sincere.
He doesn't play tricks.
Zhou Shuai understood that Lu Yuan regarded him as a brother from beginning to end.
Although……
Every time I see Lu Yuan, he seems to take advantage of him...
but……
It seems like there are more benefits?
If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals; if the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual...
There is also a word about realm!
Called "The Inscription on the Humble Room"?
Who wrote it?
When he returned to Yanjing, Zhou Shuai remembered the "Inscription on the Humble Room".
He finds this sentence "The mountain is not high" very inspiring.
He suddenly wanted to read the full text of "Inscription on a Humble Room", so he opened the Internet.
Then...
There is nothing on the Internet.
I can't find it no matter how I search.
Zhou Shuai was at a loss.
Why not?
etc!
Could this thing be...
Did Lu Yuan write it himself?
When Zhou Shuai thought of Lu Yuan's other identity, Zhou Shuai was in a daze again...
