As the sun sets, the chill outside the street becomes even stronger.
Of course, it was still very warm in the conference room.
The air conditioner blows very comfortably.
Asian singer Zhou Xiaoxia silently took a sip of coffee, and then looked at the world-class dance king and global pop king Mike Weiss with some confusion...
Zhou Xiaoxia actually felt that everything about her had been overturned.
Everything is like a dream.
Since McVis came in, he had been sitting in the corner of the conference room and waiting patiently. Although everyone went to greet him when he came in and were very excited, he still refused to sit at the conference table and instead
Choose to sit in the corner.
He always means the same thing.
That means you go ahead and work first. I can wait. I don’t have anything important to do, so don’t worry about me.
Then……
He sat silently from beginning to end, and never had the airs that a world pop king should have.
Zhou Xiaoxia felt something deep in her heart.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn't have been able to connect the honest American in front of her with the powerful, screaming king on the stage.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this good character that he can stand on top of the world?
but……
This young man Lu Yuan is really terrifying.
He actually...
There is such terrifying energy!
So scary that McVeis sneaked over to find him?
Zhou Xiaoxia suddenly remembered the headline news that Lu Yuan was going to challenge the world-class dance king Mike Weiss.
She understands!
Maybe, this is all hype, a joke played by Lu Yuan on everyone.
It’s all about hype!
Then, Zhou Xiaoxia looked at Lu Yuan again.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was discussing some details with Li Mingrui about the program "I Want to Go to the Spring Festival Gala".
All right……
This cannot be said to be negotiable...
Rather than saying it was a discussion, it was better to say that Lu Yuan was speaking alone, while Li Mingrui and Chen Bangshun were taking notes. Even if they interrupted, they were just raising some questions.
It was as if Li Mingrui, Chen Bangshun and others were stunned in front of Lu Yuan like staff waiting for work arrangements.
This kind of scene was something Zhou Xiaoxia had never seen before.
How can a person of McVeis's level and a Chinese heavyweight director like Li Mingrui still have such a situation that no one would believe him even if he said it?
"Director Li... Huh, the specific program planning is like this. As for the lighting, I don't know much about it. In short, there will definitely be gimmicks. As for the planning of this year's Spring Festival Gala, I think we can add more magic programs. Yes.
Yes, we can add some special effects, yes, special effects!" When Lu Yuan was halfway through speaking, he suddenly had an idea, and a very constructive idea appeared deep in his heart.
"Stage special effects? What do you mean? Can you tell me more specifically?" Li Mingrui and others were stunned.
They didn't understand the meaning of Lu Yuan's words for a while.
"Director Li, aren't there a lot of special effects in "Blood 3"?"
"Wait a minute, Xiao Lu, you mean to project the lighting effects from the movie..."
"right!"
"This... I have never tried this before. By the way, please tell me what special effects you want!"
"What does China represent? Totem?"
"Dragon, what's wrong?"
"Then we will make a dragon special effect. Of course, ink and wash special effects will do..." Lu Yuan showed a deeper smile.
"Xiao Lu, there is no problem with the special effects, but what special effects company should we use? If we use a Hollywood special effects company, the cost will definitely not be cheap. Domestic special effects are still expensive, so..." Li Mingrui looked at Lu Yuan after he finished speaking.
smile.
He suddenly felt that Lu Yuan's smile was strange.
However, he didn't know how to describe this strangeness.
"Director Li... let's use your "Bloodline 3" special effects company. The various special effects produced by this special effects company are very good!"
"That "Industrial Electric Demon"?" Li Mingrui frowned.
"right!"
"Xiao Lu, your suggestions and ideas are very good, but I'm afraid there are not enough funds... If we really want to achieve the state you are in, projection special effects will definitely cost a lot of money... We didn't have this kind of funding before...
…It’s probably not easy to approve.” Li Mingrui was attracted by Lu Yuan’s idea of special effects, but then he shook his head.
"What if we put aside the operating expenses and only use the cost to help?" Lu Yuan calmly looked at Li Mingrui again.
"In that case, it can still be considered, um... No, wait, Xiao Lu! Could this "Industrial Electric Demon" be yours... Could it be that this company is you..." When Li Mingrui saw Lu Yuan's
It’s weird, with an expression that seems to be in control of everything, and when I think of the sudden call to myself before, asking me to recommend a special effects company to give me this kind of operation for "Bloodline 3"...
Li Mingrui suddenly understood!
He suddenly understood the meaning of Lu Yuan's smile.
This person...
Are you just recommending your own company?
"Haha, Director Li, in short, the cost will be kept within a controllable range..." Lu Yuan laughed again, smiling like an old fox.
"Xiao Lu, what benefits do you want?"
“Can I have an ad spot?”
"You are crazy. You are advertising in the Spring Festival Gala. What kind of occasion is the Spring Festival Gala!"
"Cough, cough, it's not advertising, it's advertising space...cough, cough...aren't there advertising spaces in previous years? For example, some things outside the CCTV Building..."
"What exactly does it mean?"
"That is, some simple places, such as outside the Spring Festival Gala venue, um, the trash can outside the CCTV building, or like the "Special Effects" company in the Spring Festival Gala program list that says "Industrial Electric Magic"...or
The trademarks on the self-service mineral water bottles outside...for example, the napkins in the bathroom, cough, cough, hand sanitizer..."
"..."
"..."
Mineral water, trash can, napkins, hand sanitizer?
This person...
Any other ideas?
Why are you thinking about these things?
Can't you be more successful?
You are a world-class celebrity, why do you always think about advertising?
Li Mingrui's expression is very exciting at this moment.
"Director Li? I promise that it will not affect the audience's senses... I will not turn the Spring Festival Gala into a hodgepodge of advertisements. You will never see my advertisements under the camera..."
"Xiao Lu, I can promise you these, but you have to promise me that you must have a show in this year's Spring Festival Gala..."
Put up some appropriate advertising outside the venue...
Well, this is not a big problem.
As long as you don't mess around inside the venue, that's fine.
after all……
If you dare to advertise on the Spring Festival Gala, you are simply living impatiently.
"Can't Teacher Zhao Benggang's sketch be used twice? Selling crutches, selling bicycles..."
"That was last year, not this year... Xiao Lu, I can let you do the Spring Festival Gala advertisements. Of course, I also hope you can come on stage. After all, you can't let you take advantage of it all by yourself, right?"
"..."
"..."
Zhou Xiaoxia looked at Lu Yuan and Li Mingrui going back and forth.
Somehow it felt like the two were bargaining.
and……
Some food markets feel like selling vegetables.
One person said that he had to go home for the Spring Festival Gala this year, saying that he hadn’t been home for the last three Spring Festival Galas, while the other used a saying of sacrificing himself and dedicating himself to everyone, and criticized Lu Yuan for not having a sense of ownership...
…
In short, Director Li Mingrui won the bargaining in the end.
Lu Yuan struggled for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly after seeing that Li Mingrui agreed to place several other advertising spaces.
It looked like I was at a loss.
Li Mingrui stood up laughing, and after looking at the time, he finally got up and said goodbye with Liu Bangshun and others.
Lu Yuan naturally pretended to be affectionate and enthusiastically persuaded them to stay for a meal, saying that he would enthusiastically cook by himself, but deep down in his heart he wished they could get out of here.
Have a meal?
Forget it.
At this moment, Li Mingrui's mind is full of things about the Spring Festival Gala. What else is he going to eat?
Besides...
Can you eat Lu Yuan's food?
Lu Yuan is good at everything else, but his cooking skills...
Hey, hey, Li Mingrui is very worried. Even if there are rumors that Lu Yuan's cooking skills have improved a lot, Li Mingrui won't eat it.
and……
He suddenly realized that Lu Yuan's words about cooking the dishes himself were simply an eviction order.
In short, after saying hello to McIvory very warmly and solemnly hoping that McIvory could come to CCTV as a guest if possible, Li Mingrui asked his assistant to carry the luggage and leave again.
All in all, I looked like I was happy when I left.
certainly……
After getting into the car, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Special effects...
Some practical advertising spaces?
Green channel in terms of channels...
The power of life and death in the Spring Festival Gala!
What do these indicate?
Wait! Xiao Lu seems to be...
Did you make a big deal out of me without saying a word?
No, why do I feel like I've been deceived?
He obviously made a huge profit, why does this guy still feel aggrieved?
This person...
What a star to be!
Just become a profiteer.
but……
Will this year’s Spring Festival Gala become a “Lu Yuan” style Spring Festival Gala?
…………………………
After Li Mingrui left, Zhou Xiaoxia also stood up and said goodbye.
Although she hopes that Lu Yuan will help her write songs, she knows that she is not in a hurry now...
McVis and Lu Yuan are the highlights.
and……
There's no way this world-class dance king can wait here all afternoon, right?
However, after she said goodbye, Lu Yuan came to her.
"Sister Zhou... I will listen to your old songs tomorrow. If possible, I should be able to give you an answer the day after tomorrow."
"the day after tomorrow?"
"Um."
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Lu."
"No trouble, no trouble..."
…………………………
After everyone had left, McVeis stood up.
"Mr. Lu Yuan..."
"Sorry, Mr. Mike, for keeping you waiting..."
"No, no, no, it's all on a first-come, first-served basis. I came too late, so it's normal to wait..."
"Mr. Mike, let's go eat first? I'll cook myself and make you a meal of our oriental specialty dumplings."
"Okay! But before eating, I would like to ask, Mr. Lu Yuan, how about we sing a song at the concert?"
"chorus?"
"Yes, chorus. I listened to your song a few days ago. I think it sounds very good. If we sing together, it may have a different effect. Well, besides that, Mr. Lu Yuan, I hope you can
Write a song…”
"Ah? It's the song we sang together. I want to give the audience some different experiences. What do you think?"
"chorus?"
"Yes, it's best if it's in English and Chinese..."
