The king refuses to accept [entertainment circle]

【Lu Li can't accept that he likes someone humblely. 】

"What's the matter? I have fans picking me up at the airport?" Sitting in the SUV leaving the airport, Lu Li couldn't believe it.

"And I also saw several banners in Korean and Japanese, are you kidding me?"

Lu Li tried to rationally analyze the irrationality: "I've only broadcast one episode of "Being the Prime Minister" so far, "The Legend of the Young Cultivator" is still in post-production, and "Looking for Crime" has not been broadcast, let alone the news. Go out, where do my fans come from?"

Hearing Lu Li's bastard words with a particularly sincere expression, An Shi couldn't help rolling his eyes. Lu Li's words were like a very innocent person asking: Hey, why am I so rich all of a sudden? It popped out of my pocket.In short, it's just a feeling - lack of pumping.

"Come on, don't be cheap and act like a good boy." An Shi finished mocking, and explained patiently: "The situation is different now from the previous years. In the past, the actors had to play a few plays to accumulate popularity. Now that the Internet is developed, The information is conveyed too quickly, many artists really rely on a drama to become popular overnight, and several artists who got caught up in movies used to work on an online drama, and the times are different."

"But God is fair," An Shi turned to tell Lu Li earnestly, "Your popularity is all fake. When you are popular, you may be popular every day for a month, but after a month, you may be a little The number of blog comments slowly dropped to a few hundred, and the attention of the public shifts quickly, so you must have a good attitude, be able to withstand ups and downs, and accumulate slowly step by step to be the most stable."

Lu Li obediently complied.

Lu Li also reacted to what An Shi said. Unknowingly, he is still a bit outdated as a reborn person, and some old ideas have not been converted. The initial struggle period before his rebirth is not the kind of "several years" that An Shi said. This drama has gained a little bit of popularity", Yan Hao's acting skills are not as good as being popular overnight, everyone has survived a little bit, and when he survived these few years in his last life, he has already become the king of heaven on par with Mu Qing , how can there be any opportunities for "popularity" such as unknown artists.

In other words, the current era is good, and it is indeed easier to make stars.

"But I'm quite at ease with you." An Shi glanced at Lu Li. Although he was a little reluctant to praise Lu Li as a little rascal, but considering Lu Li's bad experience in Paris, An Shi still sincerely decided to treat Lu Li well. "You kid is in a good mood."

"Actually, your fans mobilized on a large scale this time. It is probably because you have suffered a lot of grievances from Fleeting Years. Everyone formed a group to support you and cheer you up."

An Shi's voice changed, and he sighed subtly: "Even if Mu Qing and Su Chen didn't come forward for you back then, all your evil ideas could have brought Xu Liunian down."

As soon as Lu Li mentioned this, he became excited, and he said regretfully: "Oh, don't tell me, I originally prepared a special move for Xu Liunian, but it was useless in the end, after all, he was kicked out of the show Well, if I come again, it will be a bit of a downfall."

Lu Li collapsed on the seat, sighed compassionately, "Oh, it's all because I'm too kind, too kind."

An Shi almost wanted to hit him.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Lu Li didn't have anything to say, An Shi gritted his teeth, but couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Tell me, what nirvana do you have prepared? If the move is good, we can use it too." ah."

Lu Li opened one eye and looked at An Shi. Seeing that the old man was really curious, he didn't dare to put on airs anymore, got up and said his original plan: "Not long ago, there was an underage girl who committed suicide after failing plastic surgery. Is the news very hot? I was going to drag you to find someone who pretends to be my sunspot to release information about my plastic surgery, and then 'coincidentally' got Xu Liunian's attention. In this way, it can be combined with real news to make a big wave of social news , so that it is not limited to entertainment gossip, and the majority of netizens can discuss the bad atmosphere of plastic surgery for minors. What kind of black-hearted hospital performs surgery on minors in order to make money? Ah, this can be used to scold the government; there are also minors who blindly pursue appearances and are worthy of reflection, and they can also complain about the beat generation. This is simply a perfect topic for middle-aged loser trolls. As the source of the news, I will definitely be mentioned, saying that I, as an artist, have a bad guiding effect on teenagers. As long as someone tells Xu Liunian this in a cryptic manner, then we only need to see whether Xu Liunian will take the bait."

Lu Li spread his hands and said, "I didn't intend to harm him, it's all up to him to choose. If he wants to harm me, I naturally have to teach him to be truthful, kind and beautiful."

An Shi was shocked: "Yes, yes, are you harming him? Are you doing fishing to enforce the law?"

As soon as the conversation changed, An Shi began to devote himself to Lu Li's plan: "Aren't you trying to trick him into getting yourself in first? The topic of plastic surgery is a matter of opinion. If you really make it into social news, how can you whitewash it? ?”

Lu Li pretended to be Zhuge Liang and touched the non-existent long beard, stretched out a few fingers and continued, "Let me speak slowly, three points. First, of course we want to show Xu Liunian this beautiful beard. The blueprint, the actual operation must be cut off halfway, otherwise it may really be out of control; second, how to wash white, it is too convenient, just find a real person similar to me for my so-called pre-plastic surgery photos, and then let As soon as he came forward to clarify, coupled with the black history of Xu Liunian's credit bankruptcy before, everyone can immediately understand that he is slandering again, and he even viciously slandered me, a child, for plastic surgery, and this matter is more important than his previous few things. Breaking point, after we make a strong clarification, then he is basically finished."

"Finally," Lu Li said again in the familiar and uncomfortable tone of An Shi, "I'm so handsome, sooner or later someone will say that I have plastic surgery, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later, look at which celebrity doesn't have plastic surgery Rumors, it’s better to think about it sooner.”

Uncle Yu, the assistant sitting in the co-pilot, heard Lu Li's black-bellied plan, and couldn't help but look at the complacent young man in the back seat several times with a complex look of respect and awe.

An Shi was silent for a long time, and finally did not discuss the plan itself, but sighed: "Tell me about how Mu Qing and Su Chen, who love you as their own younger brother, should feel after knowing that you are such a black-hearted carrot. "

Uncle Yu, who has always been reticent, couldn't help expressing his thoughts: "Xu Liunian should be thankful that Mu Tianwang and Su Chen made the move first, otherwise he would have suffered even worse."

Lu Li couldn't help arguing, "Hey, hey, don't act like I'm the villain who hides the deepest, okay? If Xu Liunian doesn't do it himself, don't always think about stepping on me to take over the position, how could he be where he is today."

Both An Shi and Uncle Yu were right right right away, but Lu Li always felt that their expressions were slightly perfunctory.

In the corner of the back seat was a stack of today's newspapers.

The entertainment section of several newspapers reported the news that "Xu Liunian was invited out of Hina without an invitation letter".

Each newspaper's report on this news occupies a moderately large block of tofu, and does not use too much space and large sections to report this matter.I don't know if Zou Yina, the young son of Baichuan Films, managed to suppress the scandal of his lover.

Or maybe it's just that not many people really remember Xu Liunian's name.

※※※

After returning home and having a good night's sleep, overcoming the jet lag, after breakfast, Lu Li went online to browse domestic and foreign news as usual.

After seeing the news from the entertainment section, Lu Li couldn't help feeling a little speechless.

"Lu Li returns to China from Fashion Week, nearly a thousand fans pick him up at the airport!Japanese and Korean fan groups attract attention"

"Japanese and Korean fans specially went to China for Lu Li, nearly a thousand fans are eagerly looking forward to the airport"

"The new generation star Lu Lihong went abroad, and fans from Japan, South Korea and Thailand organized a group to pick him up"

The advanced version of the Luli brand barrage machine only feels that there are too many slots:

Only four or five hundred fans turned into nearly a thousand fans?I, the person being reported, feel guilty!

This is definitely Uncle An Shi's handwriting!This is too exaggerated!

Of course, as Uncle An Shi was his manager and head of publicity, Lu Li couldn't comment on his conscientiousness and good intentions. After all, artists basically rely on bragging to make announcements.Lu Li remembered that when he was in Paris, there was a well-known celebrity at the same venue who dragged the design director of hy to take a group photo. He didn't say a word the whole time. As a result, Lu Li just saw that the headline was "xxx was praised by the design director of hy." Never speak, call it China"

Well, Lu Li's news can be regarded as simple compared to the exaggerated air of the press releases in the circle.

Scan the homepages of major fashion websites again to learn about fashion news.

Hey, "Mode" men's magazine really put Lu Li's "Trip to Paris" feature on the homepage of its official website as promised.

Although Lu Li's current qualifications and celebrity status are not enough to be featured on the magazine's features and covers alone, the official website's homepage and the magazine's joint release are already quite a win-win cooperation. After all, now that the print media is declining, the online resources may be more cost-effective. high.

Lu Li secretly poked at his own street photos on the "mode" website and admired his narcissism. Then he turned off the computer and began to study the script of "Looking for Crime" for the 1001st time.

In fact, the project "Looking for Crime" has far exceeded Lu Li's expectations.

The owner of He Yi Film cast, Mu Qing produced, and Su Chen acted as the leading role. No matter how you look at it, this is a big-budget production. From hearing these names, it seems like a popular movie project.

But, apart from these, Lu Li still has no confidence in the box office of "Looking for Crime".

Not to mention that the total investment of 2500 million is already doomed to not be a large-scale project. Usually, the investment of a movie is roughly proportional to the final box office. Of course, there are miracles of small-budget movies hitting the box office, but Lu Li never reported it. This kind of fluke mentality does things.

Not to mention that in Lu Li's previous life, he had never heard of the movie "Looking for Sin". In short, it either hit the street or died young, anyway, it was silent.

Aside from these production names and data, the story of "Looking for Crime" alone doesn't seem like a blockbuster story.

The temperament is too gloomy, the characters are too tragic, it is not a story that can be walked out of the theater with a smile after watching it happily.

Many plots are still quite sensitive, and I don't know if filming according to the script can overcome the ever-changing review mechanism of the Celestial Dynasty.

But "Looking for Crime" is really a good story. It is a story that makes people feel heavy in the heart and even hurts in the chest just by reading the script. .A good story always touches the heart.

Lu Li's upcoming role as a blind boy is very special.Of course, every character in the script is special.

The role of the blind boy is like a dormant volcano.Heavy dust covered his body, he was quick-thinking but reticent, young but without desires, he was indifferent to almost indifferent, sharp to almost sharp, intelligent and insightful to almost pathetic.But under the thick volcanic ash, there is still a thriving, hot heart hidden.

Lu Li felt that the biggest difficulty in playing this character was not just that he was blind, nor was it just how to play the contrast between the inside and outside of the character.

According to Lu Li's way of thinking, if he is only playing the latter, then he will use his eyes to tell the inner feelings of the character. The boy can be expressionless, usually quiet and less moving, rarely touched by external objects, but very occasionally Yes, when he is really excited, the teenager will reveal some inner fluctuations from his eyes and slight body movements.

However, when the eyes, the window to the soul, are removed, the performance difficulty of this already difficult boy has increased by several levels.

If the performance mode is not modified, the blind boy will appear lifeless; if the body movements are enlarged, it will appear too emotional.

ah.Difficult.

Lu Li has struggled with this problem for a long time. Of course, it's not that he can't act because he can't come up with a satisfactory solution to this problem. It's just that this is a very good and better problem. As long as there is time, Lu Li doesn't want to give up. Opportunity to make your performance as good as it gets.

Lu Li replayed the whole story in his head over and over again. He made up his own villain in his mind. That villain tried various acting methods in each scene, and tried various perspectives to simulate Shooting position, how do you usually light in this situation... Then I should move in this way, so that the details of the performance can be sent to the center of the screen...

This method of simulating shooting scenes in his head has been used by Lu Li for many years. In fact, only those with rich acting experience are suitable for this simulation method.Because acting is not a matter of one person, there are many people on the shooting scene, such as the actors in the opposite scene, the camera position, the camera pushing and pulling, lighting, etc., and the simulation is only meaningful when these elements are taken into consideration.Otherwise, it’s like some rookie actors who only simulate how they should act in their minds, and they are completely confused when they arrive on the scene. The preparations are basically completely overturned, and this is where the difficulty of group work lies.

Like Lu Li, if he directly simulates the entire crew in his mind, it means that he not only has to simulate how he will act, but also act together with the work of other crew members. Integrate audience perspective.

Lu Li still has to get rid of his identity as an actor, and then he has to simulate himself as an audience, and build the final actual picture bit by bit in front of the script. If he is an audience, how can he be attracted by the role of the blind boy? Little by little, through various details of dialogues and actions to deepen the understanding of the blind boy, how to "deceive" the audience little by little, makes the tragic revelation of the blind boy even more shocking, and allows the audience to truly understand the blind boy through inner touch. The fictional character of the boy establishes a real emotional connection, invests in the story, and feels the charm of the characters and the story...

This kind of work does not seem to have any physical output, but in fact it is very brain-intensive, especially the crew simulation part, which consumes mental energy extremely quickly.

Finally willing to press the pause button for himself, Lu Li slumped on the bed rubbing his temples, allowing himself to take advantage of the rest time to be in a daze.

Lu Li comforted himself first. Thinking about the other actors in the film crew, they must really love this script if they were able to accept this small project with an investment of 2500. It is estimated that it will not be much easier than him now, let alone Su Chen, who is the most condescending The person who came to play the leading role was even dismissed by the director Baitong as not good enough. Now I guess I don't know how to study the script hard.

Thinking about how miserable everyone is, Lu Li felt better.

But soon, Lu Li gradually couldn't help turning his thoughts to his unresolved problem, that is, how can a dull and blind boy expose his little mood swings inadvertently?

Lu Li poked around with an app on his phone, but he wasn't interested. He couldn't scroll through Weibo, and couldn't play games. He was really worried.

By coincidence, Lu Li found that he had clicked on Mu Qing's message in the address book.

How about calling Mu Qing?

Lu Li spontaneously came up with this idea.

Mu Qing always has a solution, after all, he is now the number one king of heaven——

and many more.

Lu Li suddenly sat up on the bed. After all, his brain was exhausted just now, and a moment of dizziness hit him. It took Lu Li a while to regain his clarity of vision.

Lu Li felt that his thoughts revealed some dangerous omens.

He actually, unexpectedly had the idea of ​​wanting to rely on Mu Qing.

Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can figure it out, and Lu Li himself knows that he was able to become popular in just one year, thanks to Mu Qing's support in every way, from the audition opportunity in "Being the Prime Minister" to the free guest appearance in "Legend of Cultivating Immortals", The group cover filming of "Beauty", and the opportunity to appear in the MV of Shale, the international music queen, and now he is willing to use "Looking for Crime" with an uncertain future as his first production work, Lu Li can feel Mu Qing's goodwill in it , and also understand the rich benefits I have gained from it.

But, it's just... the performance itself is his greatest confidence, and Lu Li can't accept that he even asked Mu Qing for help on this matter.

Lu Li thinks this way. Except for acting, in all things that need to deal with people, why not take advantage of the situation? The pursuit of maximum efficiency is not impetuous and lazy. Networking is never a derogatory term. It is clear that in the current relationship between him and Mu Qing, Mu Qing has given him far more help than Lu Li's feedback, and Lu Li will not be overly troubled by this matter, because it will not produce practical benefits. Lu Li will deeply remember these help until he is strong enough, and when he can help Mu Qing, Lu Li will definitely put his heart and soul into it.

In fact, Lu Li also knows that actors always have performance confusion. Everyone who has a job will have work confusion. Everyone is not omniscient, so asking others about your own confusion will not make you inferior. The idiom is not ashamed to ask.If he talked to Mu Qing about his unresolved problems, it might not appear that his acting skills were inferior to Mu Qing's.

But even if Lu Li understood all this, he was really unwilling to ask Mu Qing for help at this moment.

A little reason is that this really made Lu Li's self-esteem a little bit difficult. Rebirth is a secret that he knows alone, but as time goes by, the memory before rebirth gradually fades away from him. At this moment, the world he is living in is becoming more and more real. Lu Li has already Gradually fully accept him who used to keep pace with Mu Qing, and now he is far away from Mu Qing. When the distance between popularity and status is too far, I firmly believe that after stripping these foreign things, the acting skills he regards as the core are still the same as Mu Qing. It's not even close, it's Lu Li's last hold on to the memory of his previous life.

Even if he communicated with Mu Qing with the intention of communicating and discussing with his peers, in the eyes of outsiders, especially Mu Qing, this was asking for help from the bottom up.When Mu Qing played Xie Dingchen in "Being the Prime Minister", he was confused, and Lu Li would be very honored to communicate with Lu Li.And if it were Lu Li looking for Mu Qing instead, then this would be a junior asking for help from a senior, not an exchange of peers.

It's just that, Lu Li can accept that his popularity, status, reputation, and wealth are not as good as Mu Qing's, but he can't accept that Mu Qing thinks that he is not as good as him in acting.

If Lu Li is not even as good as Mu Qing, then what right does he have to like Mu Qing?

Lu Li can't accept that he likes someone humblely, he must love someone equally.

Especially this liking has made him sensitive and vulnerable, otherwise he wouldn't be digging into a dead end at this moment.

Lu Li didn't want Mu Qing to know that there were things he couldn't do in acting. He hoped that in Mu Qing's eyes, he was extremely powerful in this regard. He hoped that his greatest pride and support was also Mu Qing. recognized and appreciated.

Yes, he hoped that Mu Qing would recognize and appreciate him, instead of treating him as a potential junior, even if it was only this point, it would be good to have only this point.

This is really proud and humble persistence.

Is this love?

Lu Li thought a little sadly and self-deprecatingly.

Moreover, Lu Li knew that this was not the last moment, and he was not at the point where there was nothing he could do. Lu Li didn't want to give up on finding a solution.

Lu Li didn't appreciate a lone ranger who always fights alone, but he even more despised himself as a person who would give up without putting in all his efforts.

Oops, what I thought was very ambitious, but I still couldn't think of it after so long.

Lu Li got up in a daze, and wandered around the room, looking at the various appliances and details in the room, hoping to inspire a little bit of inspiration and thinking. If he didn't gain anything, he planned to go out for a walk.

Lu Li stood in front of the bookshelf, scanning the spine of each book. In fact, up to now, Lu Li himself no longer has any strong purpose, and inspiration is not something that you can get with a particularly strong determination.

Until he saw "One Hundred Interesting Short Stories" in the seventh book from the left on the penultimate floor.

※※※

"Yes, I'm blind, but I can hear, smell, and feel the airflow, so I know you just took a sip of coffee. The cup you're holding in your right hand. It should be a porcelain cup with a square bottom."

"I was telling a story to my brother at the time, a story I tell my brother every day. Need a retelling?"

"Ok."

"In a certain place, there was a crossroads, and there were three death row cages. In one of the death row cages was a middle-aged man. He knew he had committed a crime, so he was in the cage, but he couldn't remember it. What crime did you commit?"

"So he looked at the other two death row cages. The cage on the left had a rapist's sign on it, and there was only a pile of bones inside. The right cage had a murderer's sign on it, and a dying old man lay inside. Man Seeing the sign hanging outside his cage, he wanted to know what crime he had committed, but he couldn't see the content on the other side of the sign, so he asked the old man on the right: 'What crime did I commit? '"

"The old man raised his head with difficulty and saw clearly the words on the middle-aged man like a cage sign. The old man was suddenly very angry. He spat hard in the direction of the middle-aged man, and then lay down with his back to the middle-aged man. Don't pay any attention to the cries of middle-aged men."

"A group of nuns walked through this intersection. They prayed for the bones of the rapist, and then blessed the murderer. When they passed the middle-aged man's cage, they all paled from the content of the sign. , the nuns covered their faces with tears and hurried away. The middle-aged man begged the nuns in the cage to tell him what crime he had committed, and none of the nuns turned back."

"Not long after, a robber with a gun and stolen goods on his back rode through the crossroads. When he saw the rapist's sign, he smiled. When he passed the murderer's cage, he took off his hat and gently Greetings to the old man. The middle-aged man felt that someone should tell him what crime he had committed this time, so he beat the cage ecstatically, hoping that the robber would tell him the truth.

"As a result, when the robber came to his cage and read his crimes, an expression of extreme disgust appeared on his face. The man asked his own questions anxiously, but was shot through the heart by the robber. Then he patted his horse and left with a contemptuous expression. Before he died, the man shouted: "I'm going to die, why can't you tell me what crime I committed!" The only answer to him was the robber's sneer of disdain."

"The story is over."

"My younger brother also asked me what crime the middle-aged man committed, but I didn't answer him at the time, so the answer should have nothing to do with the case, right?"

"Okay. In fact, the story is over here, and there is no answer, but I have a guess. I think the crime committed by the middle-aged man is..."
