Chapter 44
Xiao Yi rarely watches gunfight dramas, but Lu Zhou acted so well until the end of the play, in the penultimate scene, when Lu Zhou died in the desert, the gunshot banged was thrilling, with music, the sun rose, and Xin Hongkai stood alone in the desert.
"You're so good at acting." Xiao Yi whispered.
Lu Zhou: "You don't ...... to die"
Xiao Yi: "......"
The heroine rushed forward to hug Xin Hongkai, the camera zoomed out, the desert, the horizon, the mountains and rivers, and the wind and clouds were scattered.
The audience applauded, Xiao Yi didn't slow down, Lu Zhou whispered: "How many of these applause do you think are for me?" β
Xiao Yi glanced back, and the entire premiere was full.
"I think it's almost all for you." Xiao Yi said.
"For what?" Lu Zhou's eyebrows were the same, and while applauding, he turned his head sideways, looking at Xiao Yi's eyes like a big child who was concentrating.
"Because they didn't laugh." Xiao Yi whispered, "Everyone has a sad expression, if it is for the protagonist, then they will laugh and feel that the protagonist has finally succeeded." But because he was moved by Zheng Changrong, he felt a kind of sadness, even if the protagonist succeeded, the result would be a pity, an imperfect regret. β
The subtitles are out, and everyone is still applauding.
Lu Zhou applauded and got cheap and obedient, and said: "Hey, Lao Tzu is very careful not to steal the limelight of the protagonist, there is no way." β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Taking advantage of the moment when the lights were not turned on, Xiao Yi leaned over and quickly kissed Lu Zhou's lips, turned on the lights, finished the subtitles, and opened the easter eggs.
The first shot is Lu Zhou crawling out of the desert as a corpse, rushing towards Xiao Yi with an excited face, and the two flew and hugged each other.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the whole theater was pushed to the peak, everyone first burst into laughter, and then loudly coaxed, everyone turned to look at them, Lu Zhou's face was flushed, and he was about to laugh, and waved his hand again and again, signaling that he would explain to you later.
After the premiere, the host interviewed Lu Zhou, and the first question was: "Lu Zhou, I saw that you are very happy in the easter egg at the end of the film, what are you doing?" β
"It's a pleasure indeed." Lu Zhou said, "This is the first play I have made a comeback from injury, and my assistant has used another art to help me complete my understanding of this character." β
"What art?" The host looked up at the screen, there was a playback on it, when Xiao Yi ran out, the camera hit his back, everyone couldn't see who it was, the camera turned around, but Xiao Yi had already got up with a smile and walked away from the side of the cinema.
Lu Zhou nodded, made a gesture of please, and signaled the host to hurry up and interview the main owner, and don't waste time on himself.
"The Battle of Dawn", as a Chinese New Year film, has to compete with three dramas for the schedule, Xiao Yi finally saw the power of the box office war, he never paid attention to the film schedule, score and box office before, but now when I first watched it, I felt that there was bloody wind and rain everywhere, and the smoke was filled, and it was almost impossible to look at it directly.
"The Battle of Dawn", "Huainanzi", "Snail Marriage Family", three dramas have been released successively, "Snail Marriage Family" is the last to invite Zhang Xinran, Xiao Yi broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he didn't take this scene at the beginning, otherwise he would have to die of embarrassment.
Lu Zhou turned on the group ridicule mode: "Don't you shoot "Divorce"? That's right, who wants to watch "Divorce" during the Chinese New Year. β
Xiao Yi: "......"
"Oh, I'm still going to give her a show." Lu Zhou smiled fakely, and was calling a friend, "Recently, our little rabbit is not allowed to go out, saying that Chinese will keep the New Year at home during the New Year...... There's no way. No, no, looking at what you said, how could I want her to hit the streets? One parting and two wide, each rejoicing, the gentleman breaks off friendship, and doesn't say bad words, right? β
Xiao Yi: ".................."
On the first day of box office, "Dawn War" was 33 million, and "Snail Marriage" was 7.9 million.
Lu Zhou glanced at it and said: "Zhang Xinran actually pounced with his face to the ground this time, the film arrangement is not good, maybe there is still some hope on Valentine's Day." β
"Not on Valentine's Day." Xiao Yi said, "On Valentine's Day, Zheng Xiaocong and Ning Yaqing's "I Love You Too", and Wu Henggu also has a "Love Love Healing Diary". β
Lu Zhou remembered that Ning Yaqing's backstage was too fierce, and even Zheng Xiaocong pulled it over, so Zhang Xinran's play was really not good.
"Can you pay it back?" Xiao Yi said.
"Three thousand three on the first day." Lu Zhou said: "It's definitely okay, as long as you can schedule films this year, even "Fuchun Mountain Residence" can earn 200 million, what else can't you recoup." β
Twenty-eight years old, "Huainanzi" is also on it, this is a special effects Xianxia production, the Hollywood team invited, if he can, Xiao Yi would like to see it, but considering the dual reasons of Lu Zhou's body and mood, he had to give up.
"Huainanzi" had a box office of 20.5 million on the first day.
"Haha Lu Zhou's schadenfreude never stopped, and he complained to his friend on the phone, "Oh, no one has watched Lala's filming these years, Li Changzheng and Gu Xiaoqing, do you think the two sisters can make any sparks?" β
Xiao Yi has completely looked directly at Lu Zhou's talent for complaining, this person is completely crooked to the point that he doesn't know where the road is.
"Oh, it's not against him." Lu Zhou glanced at Xiao Yi while talking on the phone, and then said into the phone, "What about our Tu Qi classmates, I don't know the dangers of the entertainment industry, it's very necessary, there is a man who stands up to the sky and the earth by his side, a man among men, why do you want to powder a small enoki mushroom like Li Changzheng?" β
Xiao Yi burst into tears and thought to himself, your exclusivity is too strong, don't get too carried away, okay!
As soon as Li Changzheng's movie came out, Douban instantly soared to nine points, the score of "Battle of Dawn" began to fall, and major forums and Weibo began to post stills in a swarm.
Xiao Yi already knew what was going on with Lu Dao, and said, "Is this a water army?" β
Lu Zhou was still on the phone: "Ha Lu Ha The scene where he brought money into the group didn't hit the street, what do you say? Sailors, oh sure! Li Changzheng does not hire sailors, and the sun comes out of the west......"
Xiao Yi roared angrily: "Hire a sailor to brush his own film!" What are we doing! β
"Hey." Lu Zhou took time out of his busy schedule to complain to him, "Can you not be so naΓ―ve, just two films, Zhang Xinran was turned into scum in seconds, do you want him to brush Zhang Xinran?" β
Xiao Yi was furious, and he was extremely angry with Li Changzheng's army, no, in fact, it shouldn't have been hired by Li Changzheng, it should have been brushed by the film and television company, not only brushed his own, but also hacked Lu Zhou's play, Lu Zhou has no owner now, at most he is an anchor, and Du Mei doesn't care about him, so Lu Zhou had to be stepped on by thousands of people and thousands of people, and he was carried on his back for everything.
Lu Zhou is still enjoying the aura of a winner, although he is only a supporting role, he seems to be a leading actor. It was almost up to the ceiling.
Xiao Yi said: "Is there a contact information for the water army?" β
Lu Zhou: "Aha! I don't need to go out, Zheng Xiaocong alone can blow him up......"
"Is there a contact information for the trolls?!!!?" Xiao Yi roared angrily.
Lu Zhou: "You won't read it yourself in the income and expenditure account book!" It's okay, Xiao Tusky is going to help his male god hire a sailor to brush up the box office and charter the venue, why do you say that Li Changzheng's life is so good, hey, like me Lu Zhou, I can only pave the way for people......"
Xiao Yi has now completely automatically filtered what he said, and he gradually felt that since he pierced this layer of window paper that night and was with Lu Zhou, his love for him has become a little different, if the previous love was simply the worship of male gods and idols.
So now, it's more like the pride between relatives and family, which makes him feel that Lu Zhou is too strong, and sometimes his performance is funny, like a child waiting for praise, but is the fans not praising enough? He seems to be looking forward to Xiao Yi's own worship more than his fans.
Lu Zhou: "Yes, what kind of birthday gift does he want himself, he can only make a scene for him, hey, he's old...... After the New Year? Didn't think ...... it."
Xiao Yi opened the account book and thought to himself that he hadn't heard Lu Zhou say it, would even he hire a promoter to hype? But isn't this something that Du Mei is responsible for?
He found the PR fee in the contact and was dumbfounded.
Although last year's draft was not stirred up by Lu Zhou, but on the first night of Xiao Yi's preliminary competition, in the content of Weibo swiping, Lu Zhou did launch a water army, spent 100,000 yuan to push it, and there is a budget of nearly 300,000 yuan in the follow-up, waiting for the quotation of the Internet company.
However, Lu Zhou only pushed it once that night, and the next day he saw that it was red without pushing, so he didn't care anymore and only asked the company to pay attention to the follow-up situation.
Lu Zhou was on the phone, remembered it instantly, and immediately hung up the phone, Xiao Yi heard Lu Zhou say, "I won't tell you." "Immediately close the ledger and pretend to have just flipped through.
"What are you asking for a navy?" Lu Zhou said, quickly pulled the account book away, Xiao Yi didn't have time to turn it over, his face was dazed, thinking to himself, do you have my acting skills? You see, you haven't seen that I'm acting...... So he replied, "Swipe up our movie." β
"No, you don't." Lu Zhou said impatiently, "The box office is enough to confuse them, so there is no need to invite a water army." β
Xiao Yi had no choice but to give up, but watching a group of people on Douban scolding "Battle of Dawn", he gritted his teeth with hatred, and finally couldn't help but go into battle in person, and sent a long comment sprinkled with joy, the content of which was probably to explain how good Lu Zhou's performance was and how strong he was, where was this scene rotten?
However, what he didn't expect at all was that the target of the water army was not Hei Lu Zhou at all, everyone unanimously said yes, Lu Zhou saved this bad movie, so the box office was only more than 200 million, but this can't change the fact that this is a bad movie, so everyone started to go crazy again, Hei Xin Hong's acting skills were rotten heroine vases, etc., so that Xiao Yi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, just like a punch on cotton without any reaction.
Xiao Yi didn't bother to watch it, the last "Battle of Dawn" was down, and the box office was probably out, "Battle of Dawn" was 250 million, although he heard that the cost was the most overrun, reaching nearly 40 million, and there was no big hit, but he also made a profit.
"Huainanzi" is 300 million, but the cost has risen to 140 million, and it will take nearly 600 million to recover the cost.
Zhang Xinran's play ended with more than 40 million yuan, a small cost, if you don't invite her, you can still make some money, and she is happy to carry the box office all day long, and this time she also pounced, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel funny.
During the Lantern Festival, the crew of "Battle of Dawn" held a celebration banquet in the cafeteria of a five-star hotel, Xiao Yi thought to himself, ah, ah, ah, this five-star buffet is where our former boss and editor-in-chief had a meeting and a high-level meal!
All-you-can-eat salmon!
Xiao Yi still remembered that he wanted to come here in the past, so he desperately asked for two meal tickets from his colleagues. I wanted to come over with my girlfriend to eat, but I was very unfortunate to be asked to work overtime that night, and I finally finished at eight o'clock and my girlfriend came to find that there was only dragon fruit left on the plate, and I was scolded by my girlfriend when I went out and took a taxi away......
As soon as Xiao Yi entered, his heart ran wildly like a wild dog with a prolapsed anal, and Lu Zhou threatened in his ear: "If you lose my face, I will divorce you today." β
Now that Lu Zhou's threat has changed from "firing squid" to "taking you off", Xiao Yi is completely immune to Lu Zhou's various external powers, as long as he deceives him, as soon as he enters, Lu Zhou let out a "hey" and shook hands with another producer who came over to join in the fun.
"This is ......" Lu Zhou turned around, and when he was about to introduce Xiao Yi to the producer, Xiao Yi didn't know where he was running wildly, Lu Zhou had to laugh with a black line, "My agent often runs around......
Xiao Yi was about to clean up the salmon on the plate and put it away, but Lu Zhou suddenly appeared behind him with a Ling Bo microstep.
Xiao Yi had no choice but to stand up straight, casually picked two small pieces, and smiled at Lu Zhou: "Eat?" β
Lu Zhou: "You eat, I'll watch you eat here." β
Xiao Yi: "......"
Lu Zhou grabbed Xiao Yi by the collar and dragged him away from the salmon, and when he met the producer on the way, his face changed instantly, and the two nodded enthusiastically at the same time, smiling and greeting the producer.
After the producer passed, Lu Zhou took Xiao Yi by the collar and brought him to the dining table, and the reporter next door had a twitch.
Xiao Yi: "......"
"Eat, eat, eat." Lu Zhou said.
"Hey! Lu Daxia! A middle-aged man next door said with a smile.
"Hello, hello." Lu Zhou shook hands with the middle-aged man, Xiao Yi knew that Lu Zhou must be in his heart at this time, "Who is this", the other party hurriedly handed over the business card, Xiao Yi took it, and the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Hello, you are ......"
"I'm Xiao Daxia." Xiao Yi nodded sincerely, "A single name is a peak character, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it the rabbit who wears a red cloak." β
Lu Zhou: "......"
Middle-aged man: "......"
Xiao Daxia ate salmon, Lu Daxia was squeezing mustard for Xiao Daxia, snapped his fingers, and the mustard was gone, so he got up to get it himself, and said to Xiao Yi: "You wait here." β
Lu Zhou was not interested in talking to the middle-aged man at all, nodded at the middle-aged man as a polite gesture, and got up to leave.
"Lu Zhou looks thinner than on TV before." The middle-aged man said, realizing that Xiao Yi looked at him, and hurriedly said, "My surname is Deng, Deng Xiaochuan." β
"Hello." Xiao Yi said, "I am Lu Zhou's agent. β
Xiao Yi was afraid that this person surnamed Deng would say something strange, for example, he didn't know the relationship between Xiao Yi and Lu Zhou, and he had no intention of complaining a few words, and both parties were embarrassed at that time, so he smiled at him and reported himself first.
"I'm a producer." The middle-aged man said, "Has Lu Zhou taken over the drama recently?" β
It's the first time Xiao Yi has encountered such a talk, and as soon as he comes up, he asks if he has taken over the scene, and usually talks about the recent movies made first, praises each other a few words, and then inquires about Zheng Xiaocong's studio's project this year. Producers with a way must have inquired about all the good things before opening their mouths to make an appointment, how can they ask if they are free, I have a play for you to play, this is to ask migrant workers to move bricks!
Xiao Yi was so embarrassed that he couldn't answer, he didn't answer, not to mention that he was still an agent, and he couldn't say: "I don't know what to do." Finally, he had to say: "We are also discussing this issue ourselves, I want to let him rest for a while, the shoulder injury is not healed yet." β
Deng Xiaochuan handed Xiao Yi another business card, Xiao Yi looked at it, and saw that it was attached to a small company, Lu Zhou obviously hadn't heard of him, adhering to the principle of high and low in the entertainment industry, Xiao Yi should concentrate on dealing with his salmon at this time.
However, Deng Xiaochuan said his project with a sincere face, so Xiao Yi had no choice but to put down his fork and listen sincerely, unable to help himself, begging Lu Zhou to come over to save the scene quickly. Deng Xiaochuan is a producer of a small project, and his project is even equivalent to no project, Xiao Yi has seen a lot of such a situation, and every time there is a TV festival and film festival, there are many little-known directors and producers who come over with their own stories, trying to capture the interest of the boss or movie star.
But most of the time, even the screenwriter is not found, and the story is only a preliminary idea, once it is implemented in the details, there will be many problems, the investment is not in place, the production team is not good, the producer is not well-connected, and the salary cannot be offered at the right price, so that the star will lower his price because of the appreciation of the story Next, 99% of similar situations are foolish dreams.
Deng Xiaochuan also brought his story, Xiao Yi read the script okay, and often lost concentration when listening, especially when there was delicious food in front of him, the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and he didn't know what the producer Lu Dao said.
"I want to get in touch with a good director." Deng Xiaochuan said, "I look at it and think that only Lu Zhou can play Qinshan." β
"It's hard to hire a good production team." Xiao Yi replied, thinking to himself what the hell Qin Shan was. Deng Xiaochuan said freely for nearly ten minutes, Lu Zhou came back, and as soon as he saw Xiao Yi's expression, he knew what was going on.
"Is there a script?" Lu Zhou said.
"The script is still being worked on." Deng Xiaochuan said.
Lu Zhou said: "If there is a script, let's take a look first." β
"I think it's a good story." Xiao Yi said, "It's very attractive. β
Deng Xiaochuan smiled: "You think too, right?" β
Xiao Yi hummed, and Lu Zhou said to Xiao Yi again: "Come here, I'll take you to meet someone." What's the story he told? β
Xiao Yi: "I don't know how to ...... way"
Lu Zhou: "In the future, I will waste less time on these people." β
Xiao Yi followed Lu Zhou to greet the boss of the investor, Zheng Xiaocong invested four million, and also came over to join in the fun, holding a red wine glass, and said to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi!" β
Xiao Yi smiled and called Brother Xiao Cong, a group of wealthy bosses stood and chatted, most of them could be related to each other, for example, A is the boss of Juhua, B is the vice president of Lixing, C is the former acquaintance with Du Mei, and the owner who has a long-term relationship with Li Ye, several producers of China Film, everyone took advantage of this time to come out and socialize with each other.
Lu Zhou smiled and talked to them, basically planning after his comeback, looking forward to having a good project or something, one of the producers said to Xiao Yi: "You can prepare a plan to promote Ha Luha!" β
"Huh?" Xiao Yi smiled a little stiffly, thinking that Deng Xiaochuan is also a producer, and sure enough, there is still a big difference between a producer and a producer. Xiao Yi asked, "Do you publicize the comeback?" β
"The Wind Drifts." The man said, "Maybe you can get a license to play it." β
Xiao Yideng's heart was overjoyed and he was pleasantly surprised: "Really? β
Lu Zhou hurriedly mended the knife and said, "Hey! Xie Lu Xie Lingo! β
The producer said: "Where, I also heard that a friend of Director Guo has made a big effort from it, and "Iron Horse Glacier" should also be able to pass, this year, Lu Zhou, is the year of the explosion of your works!" When will you come and give us a cameo, hahaha. β
"No problem!" Lu Zhou smiled, "Hahahaha......"
Xiao Yi thought to himself that this kind of occasion is too much like a group of bad acting people making commercial films...... However, I am very happy that "Iron Horse Glacier" and "Wind Drifting" can be broadcast. He doesn't expect Lu Zhou to turn over with these two films, because Lu Zhou almost doesn't think about TV series anymore, but he likes these two TV series very much and hopes to see Lu Zhou.
"Are you going to be ready to cooperate with the promotion of the show?" Xiao Yi asked in the car when he went home.
"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet." Lu Zhou said, "They just talk about it, just don't believe it." β
Xiao Yi said: "Huh? Make me happy in vain. β
Lu Zhou said thoughtfully: "But the news should be right, and the TV station itself is in a hurry." β
Xiao Yi stared at the Weibo of several TV stations every day, but Lu Zhou didn't have any plans, after the box office of "Battle of Dawn" was full, some people began to look for Lu Zhou to act in movies, and they were all male leads. The vice president of Zheng Xiaocong's studio made a few calls to Lu Zhou and asked Xiao Yi to go over to a meeting to get the script.
Xiao Yi took over three movie books, a play between the Mo family and the public losing class during the Warring States Period, and the male protagonist was the public losing class. One is an urban love drama, and the other is about Xiao Fengxian and Cai Yi, Xiao Yi is a little tempted, he thinks Cai Yi is good, Lu Zhou's temperament, if he plays Cai Yi, he may explode.
But there are too many lines, after discussing it, Lu Zhou still decided to wait, this kind of thing can't be rushed, he would rather wait a year for a good show and a good director, rather than take the movie casually.
As soon as spring comes, the sun warms people's hearts, this year's Beijing is rare without haze, Xiao Yi is lying on the sofa, he doesn't have to do anything, he doesn't have to work, he just needs to work out and eat and sleep and read books every day.
He is going to pick up his composition, and by the way, he will ask his family to send him the erhu by courier, and he can write songs for Lu Zhou in the future.
In the spring, the yard is full of flowers, Lu Zhou plans to change the house with a swimming pool, and is asking someone to help find it, once it is this season, both of them have an impulse in their hearts, and they can't wait to do nothing, just conform to the genes of nature and the habits of the species, and just do it at home.
Xiao Yi began to gradually get used to the relationship with Lu Zhou, and gradually got to know the completely different Lu Zhou, their relationship changed from fans and idols to getting along like a little husband, although Xiao Yi still worships him, but more is taking care of him seriously, Lu Zhou in the past was just an image for many people.
In Xiao Yi's heart, he is a man in his thirties, with joys and sorrows, shortcomings, and all kinds of strange behaviors, just like Xiao Yi in Lu Zhou's eyes is also an obedient boyfriend. Xiao Yi began to be afraid of Lu Zhou, and often tossed him, just like his former friends, Lu Zhou rarely got angry with Xiao Yi anymore, as if he knew that he cherished this hard-won love.
Xiao Yi often looked at Lu Zhou, and felt that it would be a pity not to be with the male god in the depths of many people's hearts, and not to make the best use of it? So he treated Lu Zhou as a doll, and every day he rowed to play all kinds of dress-up PLAY for him, Lu Zhou was almost made to cry and laugh by Xiao Yi at the beginning, but later he was very cooperative.
So suits, swimming trunks, military uniforms, sports departments, pajamas, home cotton shirts...... Anything that Xiao Yi could find, he would give Lu Zhou a change, and Lu Zhou was not polite anymore, and began to make various demands on Xiao Yi.
One of Xiao Yi's favorite ways is a white shirt, especially Lu Zhou's almost β‘ body, wearing a tie or bow tie, with an open chest, lying on Xiao Yi's body, followed by the feeling that after running and exercising, Lu Zhou's bronzed skin was a little sweaty, his shorts and vest were all ripped off, and he only wore a pair of sneakers, which made Xiao Yi feel like he was pressing.
Lu Zhou asked Xiao Yi to wear rimless glasses, let him lie on the dining table, and come in from behind, or after the exercise, let Xiao Yi take off and wear a pair of canvas shoes, wear a sports bracer, separate his legs, come in from the front, and touch Xiao Yi's chest muscles and abdominal muscles.
The last thing is to let Xiao Yi wear cotton slippers and white socks, put on an apron, and go from behind when cooking or washing dishes.
Xiao Yi originally felt that he was already very perverted, but he didn't expect Lu Zhou to be even more perverted.
"I, I, I...... Something. Xiao Yi said, "I'll leave for a while."
"Oh." Lu Zhou said, "Don't you come?" β
Lu Zhou had just returned from swimming, shirtless, wearing briefs and sneakers, sitting lazily on the sofa.
The author has something to say: the abridged part is added to the customization
