There was no way to advance even if you were promoted, but you were eliminated during the audition?
This seems nonsense, but it actually happened to Lu Yuan...
After returning home, Lu Yuan couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He went to the mirror and looked in the mirror. After posing a few times, Lu Yuan actually had the illusion that he didn't look like himself at the moment.
This feeling is really weird.
"Incredible?"
"Well, a little bit..."
"This seems normal to me."
"normal?"
"yes."
"How is this normal?"
"After all, you don't have much daily time behind the camera. Once you're on camera, you're basically either singing or filming, so the audience only remembers your most prominent side, or in other words, they only remember your shining side, when you go on stage.
, neither singing his own songs,
I haven’t shaved much in the past two days, and the clothes I wore are not the ones I wore before the camera, and that Chu Xiao played you so much like you. In short, with such a comparison, do you look like Lu Yuan in the eyes of the audience?
?" Wang Jinxue explained to Lu Yuan with a smile.
"It seems...it really doesn't look like it?" Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue's smile and was a little dazed for a moment.
"There is also a rematch, do you want to try it?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan and suddenly became interested.
"Forget it, I won't go..."
"You really don't want to go?"
"If I don't go, if I am eliminated in the playoffs again, wouldn't I be embarrassed and disgraced? If word spread... wouldn't it become a dark history for me?" Lu Yuan finally shook his head.
"Haha, okay."
"etc……"
"What's wrong?"
"What did you just say? What you just meant is that they only remember the side of me under the camera and don't know..."
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"No...I seem to...um, have you thought of something?"
"What?"
"I can't remember it anymore, forget it, I don't want to anymore."
…………………………
On the third day of the new year, Lu Shuren and his wife finally got on the plane to France and said goodbye to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan felt like he was abandoned when he stayed in such a big hometown.
I wanted to go home and spend a few days with my parents, but I didn’t expect that my parents wouldn’t play with me...
They are playing their own game.
This is quite cold.
Lu Yuan felt an indescribable feeling of sadness as he watched his mother and father dragging their luggage away.
but……
Lu Yuanren was abandoned, but his work did not abandon Lu Yuan at all.
Before staying in his hometown and enjoying the joy of staying in bed, he kept receiving inquiry calls one after another from "remote game" Liu.
One is the progress issue of "World of Warcraft", the other is the data analysis issue of "World of Warcraft", and the other is the arrangement issue of the "World of Warcraft" test application...
In one day, Lu Yuan could receive dozens of phone calls, and they didn't even have the same calls.
Moreover, he had to accept it.
Why?
Because World of Warcraft is finished.
Now there are various tests, and during the test, there are many data issues that require Lu Yuan's consent.
Lu Yuan told Da Liu that he could just let Da Liu handle these things alone.
but……
Da Liu doesn’t want to!
Why not?
In Da Liu's words, now is the final and most important stage of "World of Warcraft". Many details of project testing must be known to Mr. Lu. In fact, in a sense, Da Liu really wants to share his long-term labor.
Achievements and joy, I want to witness the birth of this game with Lu Yuan!
Can Lu Yuan refuse?
Seeing that Da Liu’s forehead was completely barren, he couldn’t refuse!
Therefore, he and Da Liu looked at various aspects of bug testing data every day.
Two days passed quickly.
On the evening of the fifth day of the first lunar month, the game "World of Warcraft" passed the final system test, and it was finally time to open the internal beta account and plan to officially start the internal beta promotion.
With his red eyes open, Da Liu took out a publicity plan and excitedly called Lu Yuan again.
"Mr. Lu..."
"explain……"
"I have sent the internal beta promotion plan of "World of Warcraft" to your email. Can you tell me if there is anything that needs to be corrected?"
"good."
Lu Yuan took a look at the promotional plan for "World of Warcraft".
Lu Yuan has no problem with plans such as player beta discounts, including some rectifications of the "remote platform", some data adjustments, and preferential policies such as VIP. Lu Yuan also feels that there is no big problem, but externally
In terms of publicity, Lu Yuan found that Liu was not very good at it. The project was a bit flashy, and in Lu Yuan's opinion, there was no end in sight.
You ask him to make a program, and he will make one for you after three times, five, and two. But you said you want him to do external publicity and various advertisements?
Da Liu is really not good at it.
"Da Liu..."
"Mr. Lu, you said..."
"Promotion should be simple and crude. I think these external activities and so on, and we are just advertising and attracting users. I don't think these fancy promotions are appropriate."
"Mr. Lu, then... what do you think should be done..."
"Da Liu, how was your chat with the overseas game agency?"
"In terms of agency, we have contacted Wells Company. They saw our game plan and were quite interested in our game, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the price is very low..."
"How low?"
"Twenty percent lower than the market price..."
"What!"
When he heard this, Lu Yuan was a little confused, could he still be so low?
Do you look down on "World of Warcraft" so much?
"Companies over there generally look down on the games produced by our Huaxia. They think our Huaxia Games are not as good as them. Moreover, our "remote games" are not well-known overseas. Basically, they are slightly better with your name on them...
...After all, China has indeed released many games before, but those games did not make any waves overseas... They are just like the previous Chinese movies... In fact, our "World of Warcraft" is pretty good, and the others
The price of games has been pushed even lower..."
"..." When he heard this, Lu Yuan fell silent.
He recalled the scene when his movie went to Hollywood.
He has never been favored by others.
Didn’t expect the game to be like this?
Am I going to spend a lot of money to acquire an overseas game company again?
Repeating the old trick?
Buy a chicken!
Now I still owe my father-in-law a large sum of money.
If these movies were not made and paid for, I would still have negative equity...
This is quite...
What the fuck?
"Mr. Lu, actually, there is a game company called "Empire of Dawn" that is very sincere to us..."
""Empire of Dawn"? How much do you know about this company?"
"It is a game company that has just been established for five years. It has also produced some lukewarm games. It is quite stable. However, the game rankings in the United States are among the bottom. But the boss of the game company, Mr. Gale,
He called me several times and he really hopes to represent our "World of Warcraft"..." On the other end of the phone, Liu hesitated and finally said this.
"Da Liu, what do you think?"
"Ah? Me?"
"Yes, Da Liu, if you were given a choice, how would you consider it?"
"I...I want to give it a try...that company may not have as much money as big companies in terms of investment in publicity issues..."
"The publicity aspect is not a problem."
"ah?"
"Didn't I sign Mike Weiss? Is this world-class promotion enough?"
"..."
After hearing this sentence, Da Liu on the other end of the phone did not react for a long time.
After holding it in for a long time, I finally managed to utter four words.
"Oh my god..."
After Lu Yuan and Da Liu finished the phone call, Wang Jinxue sat quietly next to Lu Yuan.
"Finished?"
"Well, the fight is over."
"Lu Yuan, let's go back tomorrow..."
"good."
Lu Yuan nodded and looked out the window.
A bright moon rose outside the window.
He looked at the bright moon and felt inexplicably complicated.
There seems to be a difference between the imaginary Chinese New Year and the actual Chinese New Year.
Even walking on the street, the smell of the new year is not as strong as before...
He actually felt a little sad.
Could it be...
Is this growth?
"Lu Yuan..."
"ah?"
"Don't show such an emotional expression, I will always be with you..."
Under the moonlight.
Wang Jinxue hugged Lu Yuan tenderly and whispered these words in his ear.
When I heard this sentence.
Lu Yuan laughed, looking at Wang Jinxue's beautiful face and the gentle tenderness in his eyes...
This moment...
All other messy emotions seemed to be swept away.
With you in my life...
very nice!
How wonderful it would be if time could stay at this moment.
This idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Jinxue..."
"Um."
"I love..."
Just when Lu Yuan was about to express his feelings, his cell phone suddenly rang.
This tenderness, this warmth collapsed instantly.
He took out his cell phone and saw that the call was from Zhou Shuai.
This call was really bad time!
Lu Yuan even wanted to give Zhou Shuai a good beating.
but……
Finally he answered the phone.
"Ayuan...this is too bad!"
"What's wrong!"
"You participated in a competition to imitate yourself and then you were eliminated?"
"???" When he heard this, Lu Yuan was stunned. "How did you know?"
He is actually a bit of a loser.
How did Zhou Shuai know about this dark history?
"The song "Lonely Northern Hemisphere" was blasted on the Internet, and then you were recognized by netizens. The news about your return to your hometown was picked up by a young man from your next door neighbor, who also took a few photos of you when you returned home...
...I estimate that your home will be packed with reporters tomorrow morning...and...isn't Vice President Wang pregnant?"
"Oh my god, has this all been stolen?" Lu Yuan was shocked when he heard the news.
"Oh my god, this young man is really talented! Damn it, no, I hired this guy to our "Chaoyang Entertainment News". I heard that he is a newly graduated college student... I won't talk about it anymore, Ayuan, you can go online yourself.
Go read it. Just now, half an hour ago, this headline was all over the place. Oh my god, why did this kid submit the article to the "China Peripheral Entertainment News"? Damn it! The sales volume of the newspaper will probably be suppressed tomorrow...
…”
"..."
Under the night...
Lu Yuan turned to look at Wang Jinxue, his expression was extremely fucked up.
