Chapter Forty-Eight: The Bet
None of these guys have a conscience!
Lu Yao thought indignantly.
Forget it, don't be like them.
Let's find my die-hard fan and staunchest supporter, Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang firmly believes that this script is very good and the movie will be popular.
So he turned his head and went to Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang just hung up the phone, stood up and seemed to be ready to go out.
Seeing Lu Yao, he stopped.
"I was just looking for you, Lu Yao. ”
"Huh, what's the matter with me?"
"Liu Yapeng called me just now. ”
"Liu Yapeng, what did he call you for?"
Lu Yao was inexplicable.
After listening to Lao Zhang's explanation, he suddenly realized that he couldn't help but sigh: This world is too small.
Liu Yapeng called, nothing else, just to mock Lao Zhang.
There has been a lot of noise on the Internet about Lu Yao going to direct his first film, and he has naturally been paying attention to the development of the situation.
Seeing that most experts and netizens expressed doubts about Lu Yao's works, thinking that he would make a big mistake, Liu Yapeng didn't want to mention how happy he was.
The surname is Lu, when you were studying, you hindered me from chasing girls, stepped into society, and didn't let me go, through the back door of the relationship, the bad money drove out the good money, and let my work fail, hehe, you also have today!
However, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't feel cool enough.
Because he couldn't mock Lu Yao to his face.
But he quickly remembered: although he couldn't call Lu Yao directly to taunt him, he could pass through others!
For example, Lao Zhang, who was writing a script under Lu Yao.
Yes, that's it!
So he happily dialed Lao Zhang's phone.
On the phone, he was angry and angry, and at the beginning, he expressed concern about Lao Zhang's situation.
Lao Zhang was very strange and asked him why he said that.
Liu Yapeng is waiting for his words!
Halfway through speaking, waiting for the other party to ask, it is a speech technique that he is very good at and has formed a routine.
As soon as Lao Zhang's voice fell, he spoke at length and talked eloquently.
"Lao Zhang, you don't seem to have a good eye for people!"
"What do you mean by that, Lao Liu?"
"Hehe, people go to high places, water flows to low places, I understand your idea of wanting to climb up, but what, I feel: you seem to be with the wrong person!"
"What do you mean?"
"Did Lu Yao invite you to be his screenwriter? He is going to make a new movie recently, and you wrote the script for him, right?"
"No, I ......"
"Don't worry, old classmate, I didn't say that your script was bad and questioned your ability. Liu Yapeng said with a smile: "I just want to say: You follow a director who is not very reliable! Although Director Lu Da has the halo of Director Tong's son, he actually has a few catties and taels, and everyone knows it very well!"
"No, that script ......"
"I haven't read the script you wrote, but it's not much closer. But as the experts say: if you want to make a good movie, you need a good script, a good director, a good actor, a good post-production, etc., all of which are indispensable!
"That's the truth, but about the script ......"
"Don't worry, I really didn't say that the script you wrote was bad! I mean: Lu Yao is not a reliable director, and the actors he is looking for are even more unreliable, and I am also deeply skeptical that the company he established himself can find qualified post-production personnel. So, this time, you may have to lose the bet!"
After being interrupted repeatedly, Lao Zhang was a little angry even if he was a clay figure: "It's too early to say whether this movie can be popular! I believe Lu Yao, he really wants to make a good movie, I believe he can make this movie well!"
Hearing that he trusted Lu Yao so much, Liu Yapeng was stunned for a while.
"You actually believe in Lu Yao so much, believe in such a guy who is uneducated and has a despicable character?"
"How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air?" Lao Zhang's eyes widened.
"Innocent, everyone saw him admit on the show that those works were not original to him!" Liu Yapeng said: "That's not all, I have already negotiated with "Tiger Dragon Pan", but he was stunned that he relied on his blood relationship with Director Tong, and the bad money drove out the good money, and my work was topped!"
That's not all, he even sent someone to contact me and ask me to write lyrics and music for the song and dance scenes in his movies, but they are all secondary works!
You can tell Lu Yao and want me to give him a hand, but there is no door!"
After saying this menacingly, he pressed the AFK button fiercely.
……
"To be honest, Lu Yao, although his tone is a little rushed, I think it's understandable - you rejected his work and asked him to be a green leaf for you, which is a bit too bullying. ”
Lao Zhang said a fair word based on the principle of objectivity and fairness.
Lu Yao shook his head again and again.
"No, no, no, Lao Zhang, you misunderstood, I haven't done this! I didn't have anything to do with the theme song of "Tiger in the Dragon Plate", I just handed over a work according to the normal process, and I definitely relied on my strength to speak!
I dare to swear to the lamp: The crew chose the work I provided, it must be because the song is better than Liu Yapeng's!"
Lao Zhang scratched his head: "I believe in you - after all, your friends are very talented." But what about the next thing? If you ask him to do it, everyone will be angry. ”
"I didn't do that!" Lu Yao denied again: "I don't know anything about it!"
"But Liu Yapeng won't lie, right?"
"All I can say is: it's a coincidence. It was Jingshu who was in charge of finding someone, she didn't know the relationship between us, and I didn't expect that the composer she was looking for was actually Liu Yapeng. Lu Yao said helplessly, "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"
Lao Zhang took a breath and shook his head: "The relationship between the two of you seems to be coming to an end." Why don't you give him a call and explain?"
Lu Yao thought about it and expressed his indifference to this.
"It can be explained, but it's not necessary!"
"Alas, don't be like this, everyone, classmates, if there is a misunderstanding, you should try to explain it clearly to avoid leaving pimples!" Lao Zhang persuaded with good words. "Just give me the old squad leader a face, okay?"
couldn't bear his nagging, Lu Yao finally agreed to give Liu Yapeng a call to communicate.
After receiving his call, Liu Yapeng was a little surprised and his attitude was extremely cold.
After listening to Lu Yao's dry explanation, he sneered.
"You think I'm going to believe your nonsense?"
“…… Hehe, I've said everything I need to say, believe it or not!"
"Lu Yao, not to mention that you asked me to humiliate me as a green leaf for you, just as far as the theme song of "Tiger in the Dragon Plate" is concerned, you said that it was because the work you came up with was better than mine, so you kicked out my song, I don't accept it!"
"I'm sorry, I'm confident, my friend's work specializes in all kinds of disobedience—except for water and soil disobedience!" Lu Yao's patience ran out.
"You! surnamed Lu, don't be too arrogant! You have the ability, everyone puts their works on the Internet at the same time, and let the masses judge! Do you dare to bet?"
"Yes, but what's the bet?"
"If most people think my work is good, you have to publicly apologize to me on the Internet, and take the initiative to withdraw it and return the theme song position of "Tiger in the Dragon" to me!"
"No problem. And what if you lose?"
"If I lose, I apologize publicly to you and agree to your request to compose the lyrics for your new movie!"
"A gentleman's word?"
"Whip the horse!"
