The two complained about Cui Ji and came all the way to the hotel. I put down my luggage in the room first, and then went straight to a nearby private restaurant.

Zhou Mu booked a box in advance, a boiling beef hot pot. The soup base with beef bones has been boiling for twelve hours, and the thick aroma of meat is elegant.

Zhou Mu and Yu Nian ate too much, but they were calm. But a group of interns next to him were a little uncontrollable and salivating.

Everyone sat down, and Zhou Mu immediately waved his hand, "What are you waiting for, let's do it." ”

Bang......

The beer is pulled apart, and the chips are staggered.

Slices of paper-thin tender beef float in the boiling hot pot.

Ten seconds to pick up, dip in the delicious condiments, and then put it in the mouth, chew it gently, the delicious taste, so that everyone can't stop.

tripe, beef shutters, yellow-throated ......

Different materials naturally have different tastes.

Anyway, everyone ate sweaty and hearty. Half an hour passed, and half of the ingredients were wiped out, and the speed slowed down.

Yu Niansha shook two pieces of green vegetables, relieved the greasy, and asked at the same time: "I heard that when you were training, what made a big fuss?"

"Huh. ”

Zhou Mu was surprised, "You also know this, I estimate that Director Zhang Huang should have issued a gag order, who is so bold and ignores his ban." ”

"There are no impermeable walls. ”

Yu Nian put down his chopsticks, took a sip of beer, and said meaningfully: "For example, there have been rumors recently, in fact, you are not Zhang Huang's first choice, he prefers someone to play the protagonist of Zhang Bo's biographical movie." ”

"Who?"

Zhou Mu's eyes narrowed.

Yu Nian shook his head, "The grapevine, I can't tell if it's true or not, how do you know who it is." But if there is such a person, he should have also participated in the training camp, don't you have an impression?"

"Even if he is the protagonist, if he does not participate in the training camp, he will be parachuted directly, so a group of actors who participated in the training camp will definitely squeeze him out intentionally or unintentionally......"

Yu Nian said softly: "So if you think about it, did you meet a person who is about the same age as you during the training camp, and who is usually very low-level, and doesn't know what role to play, he must be more suspicious." ”

"Of course, if it ......"

Yu Nian asked, "Zhang Huang really plans to replace you?"

“...... It's possible. Zhou Mu said frankly, "I have such suspicions, so Sister Hong helped me test it and sent a fax to Brilliant Pictures to negotiate the salary, but there was no movement." ”

Zhang Huang ...... Are you confused?" Yu Nian frowned, he really didn't understand, how could Zhang Huang, who had been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, make such a low-end mistake.

"It doesn't matter. ”

Zhou Mu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Anyway, this is not my loss. ”

Although he also knows that if the movie is filmed well, he will take the international route again, brush up the box office, and win awards. Not only Zhang Huang can be canonized as a god, but he, the protagonist, also has a great chance of reaching the top directly.

The problem is, the stakes of the movie are not small. It's not that if you shoot it, you will definitely succeed. Zhang Huang also spent two years of research and one year of preparation before he dared to start shooting.

But until the movie is finished, no one can be sure that it won't hit the streets.

How many great directors have made movies, full of confidence, thinking that they will definitely move the audience and make them crazy.

It's a pity that what awaits them is overwhelming scolding.

Zhang Huang has been making movies for many years, and not every one of them makes money, and there are also times when he misses and loses money, and this biopic may be one of them.

Well, even if it succeeds, so what?

Zhou Mu didn't think that he would not be able to live without this movie.

Similarly, if he doesn't act in this movie, he won't be able to reach the top?

Zhou Mu was indifferent and laughed.

"Okay, ambitious. ”

Yu Nian slapped his legs and laughed, "That's it, in the past few years, except for Director Luo's undefeated body, the aura of other great directors has dissipated a lot." The threshold of 3 billion, many big directors, can't cross it at all. The annual box office champion has repeatedly failed. ”

"I admit that they have made many contributions to the film industry. But a generation of directors serves a generation. The new audience has grown up and become the main force of movie-watching, so the director industry must also be updated. ”

Yu Nian was full of energy, looked at a few interns next to him, and said domineeringly: "The film industry in the future will rely on us to support it." ”

“...... Senior brother is right. ”

An intern immediately raised his glass and shouted, "Cheers to the box office champion!"

"Cheers!"

Bite!

One by one, the cups touched lightly.

The blood of several interns was boiling, and they couldn't wait to immediately roll up their sleeves and do a big job.

The atmosphere in the box was warm.

Zhou Mu was holding his mobile phone, as if he was chatting with someone, Yu Nian leaned over, glanced at it, and asked curiously, "Who are Hua Nai and Han Xiaoman?"

Click!

Several interns' blood was cold, and they turned their heads neatly and looked at Zhou Mu. The strange and complicated eyes startled Zhou Mu.

“...... What are you doing?"

Zhou Mu drank and was shocked, and he couldn't figure out the situation.

An intern hurriedly got up, carefully poured wine for Zhou Mu, and then smiled shyly: "Brother Mu, do you know Han Xiaoman?"

"Director Zhou, ...... you drink soup?"

Another intern lifted the spoon to add soup to Zhou Mu's bowl, and at the same time said with a flattering smile: "Didn't you and Hua Nai just record a show, and the relationship is so good, and you still chat often......

I feel that this kid is a little forced to laugh.

Zhou Mu blinked, looked left and right, and chuckled: "Are you their fans?"

"No, no, no!"

"No, no!"

The two interns hurriedly shook their heads in denial.

“...... Something that doesn't make a difference. Yu Nian reprimanded, "You want to be a director in the future, a pink female star, are you like talking?"

The two immediately bowed their heads and were honestly scolded.

No wonder they don't dare admit it.

"It's like you don't have a female star you like. Zhou Mu glanced at it and said unceremoniously: "I remember someone said that one day, you must be ......"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Yu Nian took a piece of meat and bone and stuffed it into Zhou Mu's mouth, "There is something to eat, and it can't stop your broken mouth......"

"Okay, okay, don't say it. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, and there was no intention to vent his thoughts.

Because at this time, the phone vibrated slightly, and a message was replied.

He opened it and looked at it, his gaze slightly condensed.

Yu Nian glanced at it and had an answer, "So these two female stars are also training, do you want to ask them for news?"

"What?"

"I haven't heard of that. ”

"Really?"

A few interns, surprised and excited.

It's a real hammer, a real fan.

Some young people now don't seem to like famous actresses so much, but pay more attention to famous actresses and grow up with them.

This is called the cultivation system.

Zhou Mu ignored them, he closed his eyes, and the memories in his mind were churning. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes ,-->>

"You're right, among the training actors, there is really such a person. ”

"But ......"

Zhou Mu smiled, "The strange thing is that after almost a month of intensive training, I haven't met him once." ”

Yu Nian put down his chopsticks, and his expression became serious, "Being a thief has a weak heart, and I deliberately avoid you." ”

"Perhaps. ”

Zhou Mu was very calm, "Don't worry, anyway, now I have the initiative." No matter what they think, they can't get around me. ”

"Haha, that's right. ”

Yu Nian's eyes moved, and his smile became treacherous, "In this case, they must be in a dilemma, or they are pinching their noses, when everything is a rumor, your protagonist's status remains the same." Either that's the price you pay to take a step back. ”

"Of course, you can be tougher, resolutely not retreat, and force them to death. ”

Yu Nian laughed and wanted to see the excitement.

"We'll talk about it then. ”

Zhou Mu really didn't care.

The hot pot is over, and I walk back slowly. In the small alleys at night, there are no people, you can walk in the shade of the trees and slowly blow the cool breeze.

The dim lighting is dim, but there is a bit of a warm atmosphere.

A few people walked slowly, Yu Nian suddenly stopped, picked up a fallen leaf, and sighed a little, "It's another year ......"

"Sad spring and sad autumn means old. Zhou Mu teased.

Yu Nian glared back, "I want to say that it's another year of awards season, and many film festivals have invited me to be a judge, and I'm wondering whether to agree." ”

"That's a good thing, why don't you agree. ”

When Zhou Mu heard this, he immediately pouted, "Yes, you must agree, and then take "First Love" and "Crazy" to sign up, and you will award me the best director." ”

“...... Get out!"

Yu Nian felt that he was famous for a lifetime, and he couldn't corrupt this guy's hands.

"No, it's negotiable. Even if you don't give it to the best director, you can give it the best picture, don't forget, you're a filmmaker. The movie won the award, and you have a light on your face. ”

Zhou Mu persuaded all the way back to the hotel, but Yu Nian ignored him.

"Cut, pseudo-Wenqing!"

Zhou Mu muttered and waved goodbye to a few people.

When he left, an intern couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, why don't you tell him that you have already recommended two films to the film festival, so you hesitate to be a judge." After all, you are a judge, and the movie won the award, which is easy to criticize. ”

"He just knew, that's why he persuaded me to be a judge, and he was not afraid of criticism. ”

Yu Nian said casually: "He is hinting to me that if the movie wants to win an award, there must be someone inside." If the internal vote is not passed, no matter how good the quality of the film is, it is useless. ”

"The Huading Award at the beginning of the year is the best proof. ”

His face sank slightly.

A few interns didn't dare to say anything. In the last Huading Awards, Yu Nian's best director and Zhou Mu's best newcomer returned empty-handed.

After the turmoil, the Huading Award became a joke.

But when people pretend to be turtles, there is no response, and the matter is diluted.

A year has passed, and it is time to prepare for the awards.

This time......

Whether it was Yu Nian or Zhou Mu, they didn't plan to swallow their anger anymore. However, this year, Yu Nian has no works, and Urban 2 will be released on New Year's Day, and if you want to win the award, you can only wait for next year. Therefore, the two movies directed by Zhou Mu can be pushed.

Yu Nian's thoughts fluctuated, and he returned to his room and went to sleep.

On the second day, the main creators of Urban Legend 2 gathered at the Academy of Fine Arts.

At night, the Starlight Theater is brightly lit.

The streets are lined with people. Supporting balloons, banners, and portraits swayed in the crowd, dazzling and colorful.

The main actor did not appear on the stage, and some reporters were not idle, simply interviewing passers-by on the street.

"Urban Legends 2 has been released, are you looking forward to it?"

"I'm looking forward to it!" passers-by also cooperated, showing excited looks, "I've been waiting for this movie for three years." ”

“......”

The reporter reminded, "The first part was only painted last year." The second part, after a year, is scheduled to be released on New Year's Day. ”

"Last year, this year, and then New Year's Day, it's next year. One, two, three, isn't it three years? Hmph, do you understand interviews...... If the business ability is not good, it is no wonder that the field is out. Forget it, I won't watch movies anymore, go back and watch the live broadcast of celebrities......"

Passers-by glared and shook their hands away.

It's heart-wrenching.

The reporter couldn't cry or laugh, he smiled helplessly, he didn't dare to interview passers-by, so he honestly walked to the crowd of fans and found a good-looking girl......

Before she opened her mouth, the girl was scared away, which made the reporter touch her face and doubt herself.

Is he really that ugly?

When the reporter doubted his life, a fan took the initiative to come over and said with a smile: "Are you a reporter, can you interview me?"

"Ugh!"

The reporter came back to his senses and instinctively asked, "Whose fan are you......?" Zhou Mu, what do you think of his recent scandal?"

"It is said that fans of Xia Litianhou have publicly declared that they want to boycott this movie, and if it leads to a box office failure because of this, will he bear some responsibility......

The fan was stunned, and suddenly turned around and shouted: "Come on, everyone, there is a black fan of Mumu here!"

Brush!

The black pressed a group of people to look back, and the murderous aura in their eyes made the reporter's legs weak, and he trembled and defended, "Don't misunderstand, everyone, I'm a reporter......"

"Black Pink Reporter. Fans emphasized.

The reporter's forehead was sweating, and in his perspective, seven or eight tall men smiled evilly, rubbing their wrists and fists and walking slowly......

It's over, I knew I shouldn't have taken this task. It's no wonder that other field workers, one by one, don't come with more money. He, a rookie, "seized" the opportunity and "had the courage to do anything".

But I didn't expect that it would be easy to be beaten up by guiding public opinion and stirring up trouble.

The newspaper's remuneration is not enough for medical expenses.

The reporter's face was ashen and he closed his eyes in despair. Caught off guard, someone in the crowd screamed, "Ah, the star is coming......"

"Who?"

"Which one?"

"Zhou Mu?"

"Xu Lime?"

With a bang, the people around me ran out.

Only the reporter was left in the corner, alone confused and shivering.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, patted the rookie reporter's shoulder, and seemed to smile, "Which tabloid?"

"What tabloids ......"

The little reporter froze and said angrily: "We are regular media. ”

The middle-aged man sneered, "Heh, regular media, have already occupied a place on the red carpet, waiting to shoot stars." Those who are not qualified to enter are either tabloids or self-media. ”

The little reporter is autistic and doesn't want to talk anymore.

The middle-aged man continued to smile and said: "You are a newcomer, you have taken over the task, looking for a chance to Hei Zhou Mu? ”

The little reporter frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter, can't you hack him?"

"It's not that it can't be black, it's that it can't be black. ”

The middle-aged man looked up at a 45-degree angle, and on the spacious electronic screen of the theater, Zhou Mu's image was clear and bright.

He sighed and sighed, "People have become a big trend, and it's easy to stay dark!"
