More Than A Few Blessings

After Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei received the call from Lu Chengyu, they couldn't believe their ears. Mr. Lu actually contacted the theater so quickly, and the other party was the famous Yuhe Cinema in China. This was beyond their expectations. .

"This Mr. Lu is really not a simple person." Qu Lingbei thought of Lu Chengyu's usual behavior. The other party was a very personable and easy-going young man. The crew, from the director to the handyman, seemed to have a good impression of him. .

Moreover, this person is well aware of the disadvantages of laymen guiding experts. When shooting movies, he never tells them what to do, and he will not let him, a screenwriter, modify the script just because an actor pleases him. This is really rare in the circle.

Screenwriters in this circle, to put it bluntly, except for a few well-known screenwriters, most of them will be forced to change the script, and even male one becomes male two, and female one becomes female third.They originally thought that Lu Chengyu wanted to play the game by himself, that's why he did this.But in fact, this guy doesn't have much interest in filming, and even playing a small supporting role is for the sake of a suitable image and cost savings.

"Ability is ability, but as long as I look at his face, I will unconsciously regard him as a college student who just graduated." Zhang Shuo scratched his head, "Then shall we send the things there now?"

"If you don't send it over, why don't you keep it for yourself?" He remembered that Mr. Lu designed the promotional poster, and the person who made the poster was also the person contacted by Mr. Lu. "Hurry up and move the things to the car."

The two moved the brochures and posters to the broken van, and then drove all the way to Yuhe Film and Television City. When they arrived at the destination, they saw Lu Chengyu waiting for them at the gate.

"Thanks for your hard work, both of you." Lu Chengyu walked up to the two of them, helping to carry a box of things, "I've already contacted Brother Yu, we'll go up now."

Zhang Shuo followed behind him nervously, and after entering the elevator, he asked very uneasy: "Mr. Lu, how many shows will the boss of the movie city arrange for us every day?"

"Very worried?" Lu Chengyu turned his head and saw that both Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei looked nervous, so he said with a smile, "I trust you very much. Even if they arranged fewer seats at the beginning, they will definitely add more seats later."

Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei blushed when they heard this, but they felt that what Mr. Lu said was very sincere, and it didn't seem like he was comforting them at all.

When the three of them came outside Yu Yu's office, they saw that the door of the office was open and Yu Yu was talking on the phone with someone.

Lu Chengyu took the two of them back a few steps, and after Yu Yu hung up the phone, he stepped forward and knocked twice on the door frame, and said outside the door: "Brother Yu, are you still busy?"

"Xiao Lu?" Seeing Lu Chengyu, Hu Yu smiled and let the three of them in. After a few words, he led the conversation to the main topic and began to talk about the sharing and publicity issues.

Now the theaters are not getting much money, and Yu Yu has no intention of competing with Lu Chengyu for the benefit.Because Yuhe has many cinemas of its own, the main content of his discussion with Lu Chengyu is the division of cinemas.

Zhang Shuo and Qu Lingbei looked at the scene where Yu Yu and Lu Chengyu called each other brothers while laughing and talking about the share, which was obviously very gentle, and they suddenly felt some kind of confrontation.

"Okay, let's leave it at that, brother Xi helped me so much this time, and I'm very grateful in my heart," Lu Chengyu sighed, "It's really hard to invest in movies nowadays. I can get the box office income for the seventy-eight eighty-eighth expenses. If it reaches 30.00% five or more, it’s not bad.”

"There is no way around this. The investment and construction of this cinema is not easy. To build a small cinema, plus large and small projection equipment and other facilities, will cost tens of millions," the two apparently reached an agreement. Yu Yu also sighed, "It's not easy for us, it's just to make a living."

Lu Chengyu nodded along, looking like he was also a fallen person in the world.

Zhang Shuo: "..."

Qu Lingbei: "..."

Did these two people really consider their feelings when they said such things?

On the fourteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which is also September 20.00th in the Gregorian calendar, at eleven o'clock in the evening, "Flying Bird" was released silently. You have never heard of it, but because the posters are very eye-catching and the quality is good, some couples who have already started their vacation bought tickets for this show with a dispensable mentality.But despite this, the attendance rate was less than [-]%, which seemed very deserted.

However, from the beginning to the end of the movie, almost none of the audience left early, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time.

When the movie was halfway through, some people started posting on Weibo, talking about the funnyness and humor of the movie "Flying Bird", but because few people posted on Weibo, it didn't arouse any reaction.When the movie was in the second half, there were more content about the movie on Weibo, "Lulu Lulu: I'm going, it must be because I watched the movie in the wrong way, I seem to have seen a very popular movie some time ago The grass-level student bully of Colonel Q appeared in the movie, and the male god wore glasses, which made my mother cry. This movie is so funny, I will call my friends to watch it again tomorrow."

Lulu Lulu is also a well-known Weibo account. After she posted this Weibo, some people said that her Weibo was a marketing Weibo, and some people became interested in this drama. Ask who it is under the Weibo filming.

By the third day, "Flying Bird" had become a hot topic on Weibo, and some people even began to make pictures of the male protagonist in the play and Lu Chengyu's tall, rich and handsome image, and used it to tease Diaosi and Gao Fushuai.

But no matter what, the photo of Lu Chengyu wearing gold-rimmed glasses in the play and gently pushing the glasses with his right index finger has gone crazy on Weibo.

This low-budget film was so full of blockbusters at this time, it was a bloody road, and the original attendance rate was less than 20.00% to the full house, and many theaters began to add more scenes to this film.But despite this, some people complained on Weibo that they queued up to buy tickets at 12:[-] p.m., but only got the [-]:[-] p.m. show. .

Some people in the media joked that "Flying Bird" is a black bird killed in the film industry this year. Some experts came out to study why this movie is so popular. Some people said that this kind of low-level comedy movie is just a box of fast food, which seems to be interesting. , There is actually no nutrition.

However, this statement was quickly pushed back, and even ridiculed that the expert criticized for the sake of criticism, and it was possible that he hadn't even finished watching the movie.Because even ordinary people can see that the director and screenwriter borrowed this comedy movie to capture the spirit and helplessness of the low-level characters, as well as the protagonist's optimistic attitude towards life and satire on certain social behaviors.Therefore, this is a good movie that conveys positive spirit from beginning to end, humorous yet funny, witty but full of spirit.

"This kind of film that conveys the spirit and is humorous and relaxed is obviously a good work, but in the eyes of some people, it has become worthless garbage. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, the investment of the film is not over [-] million, and the actors are not big names. If the style is not literary and artistic, it is not a good movie. I don’t know if experts and professors who have this view are sad or black humor in the film industry?” This is what a folk film critic said on Weibo, and this Weibo quickly attracted a lot of attention. Human forwarding and thinking.

On the fourth day after the film was released, some people began to report that the total investment of "Flying Bird" was less than 300 million. In order to save costs, from the director to the handymen of the crew, they all played various passers-by in the play.

The male lead Gao Boyang teased on Weibo that the most valuable thing in the whole crew is the sports car driven by Gao Fushuai. If there is a problem with the car, he can't afford to sell all the crew's belongings.

Someone asked him on Weibo, how did the crew find this limited-edition sports car with such a poor crew?

Gao Boyang replied that the investor borrowed it from a friend, but he did not mention who the investor was or who borrowed the car, but movie fans were not interested in the investor either.Anyway, in their impression, most investors' looks can be automatically mosaiced. Even if there are some good-looking uncles, they are all people with family background, and no one will care about this.

The most popular in this movie is not the male lead and the heroine, but the male lead and the tall, rich and handsome guy who doesn’t have many shots. I have to say that in this realistic face-watching society, having a handsome face is still very advantageous.

The number of fans on Lu Chengyu's Weibo rose to several million in just a few days, and the enthusiastic girls called him a male god.However, some male movie fans seem to be less polite to him. They justly praised him for his good acting, those who like to tease and hate the rich call him rich and handsome who should be burned to death, and those who are jealous of him... all call him pretending to be a man. .

However, since most of his fans on Weibo are cute and tough girls, most of the time, these male compatriots will be blown away by their strong and rich language skills.

Therefore, Lu Chengyu's favorite thing to do in the past few days is to read the comments of cute girls and boys on Weibo.However, it is precisely because of the strong fighting power of the younger sisters that he made up his mind that he must be as warm as the spring breeze to the female compatriots in the future, otherwise it will be a tragedy when the female compatriots become bone-chilling winds.

"Great, I am a girl from the Great Heavenly Dynasty!" He sighed for a moment, so he posted such a Weibo, and then sadly found that his wretched factor had unknowingly spread out because of this Weibo.Fortunately, most people thought he was thanking the female movie fans for speaking up for him, so many girls praised him for being cute on this Weibo.

However, even so, some unknown creatures will still appear on Weibo.

Three hours after this Weibo was posted, he accidentally saw a message. The person who left the message should be a man. The meaning in the other party's words was that Lu Chengyu was deliberately trying to please women, and said that women in the Celestial Dynasty are so superficial. Whether you have money or not, you are not as virtuous as women in a certain country, and even use words like female cousins ​​to describe women.

Although he is a man, most of the girls around him are very good, and his mother is also a very good person. For those men who look down on women and even scold their mothers, the first thing they are sorry for is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him. No matter how successful you are in the future, you will be a loser.

"More than every year: I like to please people since I was a child, my parents when I was young, my teachers when I was studying, and my boss and colleagues after graduation ╮(╯_╰)╭. But please remember, friends who are cursing, think about parenting before speaking People who have surpassed themselves, scolding others will not make you look tall, but will only make you look bad. For me, to please is to respect and cherish, because only if you respect others, others will respect you."

This passage, similar to self-ridicule and exhortation, caused many people to forward it, and many male compatriots also stood by his side.

A male joker who had ridiculed him the day before also reposted this Weibo, and wrote such a sentence when reposting: Male god, I want to please you too.

These words, of course, attracted a group of people to ridicule in good faith, and Lu Chengyu's status as a male god was officially settled just like that.

However, some male movie fans who didn’t like him, after reading his previous Weibo, found that there was no flaunting wealth, no self-promotion, and no petty bourgeois remarks on Weibo. Instead, they posted some professionally interesting Theories, as well as the food in some places, and these places are almost not high-consumption venues, but roadside stalls or small restaurants.

As a result, many male movie fans also have a good impression of him, and the title of pretentious man is gradually not being called by many people.Of course, there are a few exceptions for deliberately finding fault.

He looked at the bustling Weibo, smiled and closed Weibo.

He opened the largest public forum in the country, and sent out the things that had been prepared before. The good shows in the movies have already been released, and some good plays just need to start.
