After Zhou Shuai saw the bustling Hollywood street scene in the distance through the airplane window, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
The sun is exceptionally bright today.
Just like Zhou Shuai's mood at the moment.
Somehow, he couldn't help but feel a little heroic in his heart.
"Brother...will we develop in Hollywood in the future?" Liu Bin was a little confused and unreal.
Yes, unreality.
This is his first time in Hollywood, or in other words, this is his first time in the United States.
Just a few days ago, he was still confused about how to operate in the future and how to find hot spots...
I even considered whether I should go to Tianyu or Joaquin to see if I could get any useful news that would make up stories with pictures.
But today...
He was actually standing in Hollywood, about to accompany his brother to interview James, the top director in Hollywood.
All this...
As if in a dream.
"Although it won't happen now, it will definitely happen in the future. After all, we are the most important link in a new empire." The pride in Zhou Shuai's heart gradually turned into a surge, and he unconsciously thought of Fatty Wei's words before getting on the plane.
.
"Welcome to our true empire!"
In fact, this sentence sounds quite average.
Even though Fatty Wei said it in an inviting tone, it still sounded so embarrassing.
Zhou Shuai pouted at Fatty Wei several times on the phone.
He expressed disdain.
He is nearly thirty years old, how could he be moved by such silly words?
Return the empire?
This is not a war game.
What a joke.
but……
I don't know why, but after the plane landed on the ground, Zhou Shuai suddenly only thought of Fatty Wei's words.
Is this moment particularly suitable for the occasion?
"Empire?" Liu Bin looked at Zhou Shuai.
"You heard wrong."
"Oh, brother, how should we go?"
"Just wait for the bus."
"car?"
"Well, yes, waiting for the bus, someone will come to pick us up in person..."
"Ah? And this kind of treatment? This, our face is so great..."
"It's not that we have a big reputation, it's Ayuan's that has a big reputation...Hollywood directors are even related to him..."
"Well, Mr. Lu is so awesome. By the way...Brother, should we tip the driver? I heard that here in the United States..."
"Give, don't be stingy, give more...after all, we can't embarrass Ayuan."
"clear……"
Liu Bin touched his pocket.
He exchanged a lot of dollars for emergencies.
How much is an appropriate tip?
Ten dollars?
More than ten minutes later, when the two walked out of the airport and arrived at the pick-up area, Zhou Shuai looked at a brand new Chevrolet parked in the waiting area.
He compared the Chevrolet license plate number and knocked on the car window.
The car window slowly rolled down.
Liu Bin touched his pocket.
How about twenty dollars?
"Hello, I am a reporter from China, my name is..."
"Get in the car...I've been waiting here for you for almost half an hour."
"Hmm, huh? You, you are...Director Forrest?"
"..."
When the driver stuck his head out and showed a hint of impatience...
Zhou Shuai was stunned for a moment.
A gust of wind blew.
Zhou Shuai was confused.
As for Liu Bin standing next to him, his pupils shrank.
Hollywood director Fraser?
this……
Is he the driver who picked us up?
this……
How much do you need to tip for this?
Perhaps because he was too shocked, Liu Bin did not react at all.
…………………………
Lu Yuan yawned slightly.
I don't know why he wants to sleep so much lately. The closer it gets to evening, the more he wants to sleep.
The weather in Yinchuan has started to get weird. The temperature was hot yesterday, but it suddenly became cold today.
The weather forecast says it will snow here in half a month.
snow?
Lu Yuan shook his head.
Fortunately, the work on "Westward Journey" can be finished in less than half a month. If it were delayed any longer, Lu Yuan would be depressed.
Others think snow is a romantic moment, and even some literati who are popular in poetry will express their feelings and compose a poem, but for Lu Yuan...
Are you kidding me?
If I go out to recite poetry and compose poems on such a cold day, will I freeze to death?
How nice is it to lie in bed?
Well, Lu Yuan still likes summer a little more than winter.
Summer is so nice, with air conditioning and watermelon...
winter……
Winter is fucked up.
At six o'clock in the evening, after having dinner with the crew, Lu Yuan returned to the office and planned to note some follow-up details of the filming of "Westward Journey" to Li Qi for two days of filming. After all, he was going to participate tomorrow.
During the recording of "The Voice of China", I didn't have time to stay in Yinchuan.
Just when Lu Yuang sat down, without even taking a sip of saliva, Wu Tingting knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Zhong Zhen is here."
"Mr. Zhong Zhen? Which Mr. Zhong Zhen?"
"It's Mr. Zhong Zhen, the person in charge of the "Voice of China" column group. I've met him before."
"Um? What is he doing here at this time?"
"I don't know either...but he is already waiting outside the house. Let him come in?"
"Uh... ok."
Lu Yuan was quite confused.
If Zhong Zhen didn't prepare the sound in the magic city, why would he suddenly go all the way to Yinchuan?
Is there something big going on?
Lu Yuan couldn't understand it no matter how much he thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
Two or three minutes later.
"Mr. Lu..."
"Uh, Mr. Zhong, you're here, hello, hello..."
"Mr. Lu, making movies is very hard."
"No hard work, no hard work, just sit, sit, sit..."
"Mr. Lu, please take a seat..."
"Forehead……"
After the two parties chatted for a while, they sat down.
Sitting down and halfway through the conversation, Lu Yuan realized what the purpose of Zhong Zhen's coming was...
However, when Lu Yuan understood this purpose, Zhong Zhen felt that it was very nonsense.
Zhong Zhen came here to present the contract!
Yes!
In fact, the contract could have been mailed, or even signed when Lu Yuan went to Shanghai tomorrow.
After all, it’s only less than a day apart, right?
but……
Zhong Zhen came all the way to deliver the contract.
Is there anything more ridiculous than this in the world?
"Mr. Zhong, actually you don't have to go all the way..."
"No, no, no, it's necessary. I know that Mr. Lu, the most important thing for you is sincerity... I think our "The Voice" column team also pays attention to sincerity..." Zhong Zhen looked at Lu Yuan happily, his expression seemed a bit naive.
feel.
"This is too troublesome for you."
"No trouble, no trouble."
"Okay, by the way, do you want to sign here?"
"Well, sign here."
"good."
When Zhong Zhen saw Lu Yuan scan the contract and confirm that the contract was OK and sign his name, Zhong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief silently.
He is indeed the planner of the "The Voice" column group.
In fact, with his status in Zhejiang TV station, if he just invites a guest, there is no need for him to do so.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you sign the contract one day late...
But Zhong Zhen is very good at being a good person.
He felt that if he wanted to continue to cooperate with Lu Yuan in the future, he should first get along with Lu Yuan by making friends.
When making friends, sincerity always comes first.
So Zhong Zhen felt that no matter how well he said it, it was better to do it well. He had traveled thousands of miles from the devil's capital to get here, and if he could get Lu Yuan's sincerity, then he would be profitable no matter what.
Many times these are intangible assets.
And based on Lu Yuan's current status in the entertainment industry, it is indeed worthy of him to do this.
"Mr. Lu...what song do you plan to sing?"
"Um... I've been busy filming these days. By the way, what's the most popular song on the show?"
"It should be rock and roll."
"Rock?"
"Well, Mr. Lu, although we have not revealed that you will be a guest on The Voice, I think everyone will definitely like to listen to your rock music... "I'll Love You Even If You Die" will definitely set the whole audience on fire.
." Zhong Zhen looked at Lu Yuan.
Watched it very carefully.
When he thought of that song, Zhong Zhen couldn't help but feel crazy.
"Yeah...I'll change the song..."
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, and countless songs appeared in his mind.
He seems to think that besides "Love Even If You Die", he likes other songs that are more inspirational.
"ah?"
…………………………
The night is deep.
Interview videos of various aspects of "City Fortress" were posted on Joaquin's official Weibo.
As soon as it appeared, this video was reprinted by major media, and the interview video of Han Lu by "China Peripheral Entertainment News" was posted on all social platforms, large and small.
Behind the scenes, some of Joaquin's publicity team naturally tried their best to buy countless traffic, and also found many celebrities in the industry to help hype "City Fortress".
This moment.
Weibo, Tieba, portal headlines, major live video platforms, Tomato Fan Zone...
Countless news about Han Lu and "City Fortress" are raging throughout the entertainment industry.
"Han Lu, a man who is working hard to get rid of his reputation as a young man."
"Han Lu: "City Fortress" will become my masterpiece. From beginning to end, many people have misunderstood me. In fact, I have been working hard!"
"Han Lu: I will use this movie to prove myself. I feel that although "This Man from Earth" is a rare classic science fiction film in recent years, "City Fortress" will also become a classic..."
"..."
"..."
In the video, reporter Chen Mingchong wore a tie and a suit, interviewing Han Lu very professionally.
Han Lu pushed up his glasses, arranged his hair slightly, and raised his handsome hair slightly, looking very confident.
Office of the Editor-in-Chief of "China Peripheral Entertainment News".
"Not bad, really good!"
Liu Yong nodded with satisfaction after seeing this video.
This interview was very successful.
after all……
Their newspaper interview dominated the headlines!
Headlines?
right!
It’s really not easy to make headlines!
Simply incredible!
Why?
During this year, after Lu Yuan was born, the headlines every day were all kinds of brainwashing news about Lu Yuan.
This headline has almost become Lu Yuan’s own home.
Many people tried their best to make headlines, but weren't they all intercepted by Lu Yuan halfway?
Liu Yong took a look at the almost explosive popularity on the Internet, as well as the equally explosive popularity of his own "China Peripheral Entertainment News" on Weibo.
He suddenly laughed.
Good.
Yes.
Everything is really good...
"Brother-in-law, am I no worse than Zhou Shuai?"
"Haha, why do you want to compete with Zhou Shuai? Zhou Shuai? Haha, he is a marginal figure now... just like the grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump up."
"Yeah, that's true."
"Let's have a drink together?"
"Well, good!"
Chen Mingchong laughed.
Liu Yong also laughed.
The two looked at each other and then felt an indescribable tacit understanding.
Just when the two were planning to have a drink together to celebrate their success, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open.
"The editor-in-chief is not good, something is not good, something happened, something big happened!" Assistant Xiaoli rushed in in a panic.
"Don't know how to knock on the door?"
"No, no, no... Editor-in-Chief, I..." Xiaoli gasped and looked at the two of them, "Zhou... Zhou..."
"What week, tell me slowly..."
"Zhou Shuai has gone to Hollywood...he is interviewing James, the great Hollywood director, live!"
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Look..."
"What!"
After Liu Yong took the tablet from Xiaoli's hand, his eyes suddenly widened.
