After the vase cannon fodder is reborn

When Wen Zhuoyu said that there would be a celebration banquet, that was absolutely unambiguous.Not only was there a big celebration wine in the five-star hotel opposite Star Eucalyptus Film and Television, but also invited many media reporters to interview on the day of the celebration banquet, and spent money to buy hot searches on various platforms to create momentum, and the atmosphere was called a flower The brocade is vigorous.

Probably because the battle to publicize the celebration was too overwhelming, or the elation shown by Wen Zhuoyu was too contagious. Audiences who were not very interested in the subject matter of the movie couldn't help but walk into the cinema, wanting to see this promotion What's so good about movies with too much momentum? This has led to a downward trend in the box office of movies that have gradually declined as the release time has been getting longer and longer.This was a surprise that Wen Zhuoyu didn't expect.

Because his original intention was to be angry with Yingjia and Pei Jinan.

However, what Wen Zhuoyu didn't expect was that Ying Jia and Pei Jinan probably exploded with Wen Zhuoyu's investment because they had been mentally prepared for a long time, or they were attracted by other things that made people even more anxious. There was no big reaction to the incident, but Luoxiu, who was shut up at home by Mrs. Gu, was so angry that her nose turned crooked when she heard the news that the movie was a big hit.

"If it wasn't for that godly woman who made excuses to lock me up at home and insisted on making me retake the exam for some A university, this honor should have belonged to me."

Luo Xiuqi's eyes were red.If it wasn't for the Gu family and Ying family's interference, he should have participated in that movie.If he can successfully participate in that movie as planned, he should be the best newcomer sought after by the media and fans, not the cannon fodder he can't even name.

The more Luo Xiu thought about it, the more angry she became, and she fiercely tore up the textbooks and exercise papers spread out on the desk to vent her anger.He hated himself for being so naive back then, for actually believing Mrs. Gu's nonsense, thinking that Mrs. Gu would hand over the Gu Group to him because of his outstanding talent and being of the blood of the Gu family.But she didn't expect Mrs. Gu just wanted to use him, and after getting rid of his secrets, she locked him at home with the excuse that the college entrance examination was coming and she couldn't be distracted.

For two full months, Luo Xiu could neither go to work in the company nor hang out outside.Mrs. Gu locked her in the guest room every day to study and review.Luo Xiu wanted to resist, and felt that Mrs. Gu did this to restrict his personal freedom, but Mrs. Gu kept saying that such an arrangement was for his own good, and she didn't want to distract Luo Xiu from being busy with company affairs, so she would fail the exam. Go to A major.

Luo Xiu has already committed stupidity once because of her innocence, how could she still believe Madam Gu's nonsense.But the people around him were all deceived by Mrs. Gu, thinking that the Gu family hired many special-grade teachers to tutor Luo Xiu's homework, and they must value Luo Xiu's future very much.It is agreed that Mrs. Gu's actions are really for Luoxiu's sake, rather than blindly squeezing Luoxiu's talent.Even Luoxiu's own mother tried her best to persuade him not to make trouble anymore, and said that the Gu family had done their best to him as an illegitimate child.

Luo Xiu couldn't make sense to these people, and was so angry that she was about to pass out.Probably because he was impatient and unable to study well, and his homework was not solid at ordinary times. After the college entrance examination, Luoxiu barely passed [-] points, which was still a long way from the admission score of A University.

This time Luo Xiu refused to repeat the study.He decided to apply for another university in City A, and also planned to work part-time during the summer vacation.

Of course Mrs. Gu disagreed, Luo Xiu sneered: "I'm not discussing with you, but informing you. Anyway, you don't even want to hand over the Gu Group to me."

Luo Xiu can only rejoice now that when he was an intern in the investment department of the Gu Group, in order to protect himself, he gave the investment department suggestions that would be profitable in the next two or three years. As for the many plots and secrets after three years, Luo Xiu They are all covered to death.So now he only needs to survive two or three years, and then earn the first pot of gold through filming and receiving advertisements, and then he can find a way to establish his own investment company.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu's eyes burned with raging anger.In order to express her determination to resist to the end without compromise, Luoxiu even moved out of the Gu family's mansion and lived alone in an apartment given to him by Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu probably didn't expect Luo Xiu to be so restless, and she could only say that the child became rebellious when she grew up.When everyone saw this scene, they naturally felt that Mrs. Gu had good intentions, while Luo Xiu was young and energetic and didn't know good from bad.

When Luo Xiu heard these rumors, she felt that those people had known Madam Gu for a long time, so they naturally spoke to Madam Gu.He doesn't care what those people think or say, he already has his own plan for the future.

Just when Luoxiu was ambitious and wanted to build her own business, Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai were watching a movie in the cinema—it was the movie in which Wen Zhuoyu made a cameo appearance when they participated in "Rich Man's Game".

This movie was released after the movie Wen Zhuoyu invested in was released.Because of the cameo scene of Wen Zhuoyu, after discussing with Wen Zhuoyu, the crew also used Wen Zhuoyu's banner to gain popularity.

Considering that director Chen Xusheng has always favored him, and Gu Xihuai is the leading actor in this movie, Wen Zhuoyu certainly would not refuse such a simple request.When I went to the premiere of the film with Gu Xihuai, the producer expressed regret that if I knew Wen Zhuoyu's popularity was so hot, I should have taken more shots when I invited Wen Zhuoyu to be a guest star on the set.

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, Director Chen Xusheng took the initiative to take the blame and said, "It's my fault. If I had known Zhuo Yu's acting skills were so good, I should have let him play the role of the killer."

The actor playing the killer happened to be standing next to him. Hearing what Director Chen said, he smiled wryly and said, "It seems that Director Chen despises me for being old."

As one of Chen Xusheng's royal staff, the actor who played the killer also played a supporting role in "Twins", and he is fairly familiar with Gu Xihuai and Wen Zhuoyu.After hearing this, everyone joked: "Brother Xu is not old, they say that a man has 41 flowers, so you are still a flower bone!"

Hua Guduo, who was already in her thirties, laughed when she heard the words, and looked at Director Chen proudly.

Director Chen also touched his chin and said, "...is the species a cactus?"

When everyone heard this, they laughed even louder.

The lively atmosphere lasted until the opening of the movie, and everyone sat down to watch the movie.The originally brightly lit viewing hall suddenly went dark, leaving only the large screen lit up. The suspenseful and tense soundtrack accompanied by the opening scene of the movie directly drew everyone's attention into the movie.

Wen Zhuoyu sat in the auditorium and watched the movie quietly.In her previous life, this suspenseful movie was extremely popular because of the tragic death of the leading actor Gu Xihuai.Under the banner of Gu Xihuai's posthumous work, the film crew did a lot of publicity. Many fans and audiences who had a good impression of Gu Xihuai went to the cinema over and over again during the film's release. Sales of tens of millions.And Gu Xihuai also won the title of best actor with this posthumous work.

I don't know if I can have so many honors in this life...

Of course, for Wen Zhuoyu, he would rather see the movie hit the street than see Gu Xihuai alive.No honor is more precious than life.As long as Gu Xihuai is still alive and well, even if the box office of the movie is lower than in his previous life, or if Gu Xihuai in this life can't win the best actor title with this movie, Wen Zhuoyu will not feel regretful.

Anyway, he is the only one in this world who knows that Gu Xihuai won the best actor with this movie in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhuoyu moved closer to Gu Xihuai's ear, and whispered, "You acted very well."

When Gu Xihuai heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he followed Wen Zhuoyu's example and leaned into his ear, and said modestly: "Not as good as someone."

Wen Zhuoyu turned his head, looked at Gu Xihuai's expression carefully, and emphasized in a low voice: "In my heart, you are already the movie king."

Gu Xihuai did not expect that Wen Zhuoyu would say such nasty words at such a time, and the tips of his ears suddenly turned red in public.Fortunately, the auditorium was completely dark, everyone was attracted by the tense plot, and no one noticed Gu Xihuai's weirdness.

"You—" Gu Xihuai hoarse, trying to say something.After a while, he coughed lightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Wen Zhuoyu didn't notice Gu Xihuai's mood swings.He comforted himself to comfort Gu Xihuai, who was very likely to miss the best actor award because he was alive in this life. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to care much about it, Wen Zhuoyu also smiled in relief: "You're welcome. .”

After saying this, Wen Zhuoyu immediately put all his energy on the movie, and for the next hour or so, he didn't even have time to talk to Gu Xihuai.Gu Xihuai was also embarrassed to whisper and chat with Wen Zhuoyu endlessly in the screening room, his whole heart seemed to be soaked in a boundless piece of hot spring water, wafting warm and moist, very ironing.

This situation continued until the end of the movie, when the lights in the screening hall were brightly lit, all the audience and media reporters stood up and applauded the wonderful plot. Red envelopes were distributed to media reporters and film critics at the scene.

"The response is very good!" Director Chen Xusheng said with a look of relief: "The next thing is to screen in 23 cities. I hope the feedback can be like today!"

Director Chen Xusheng said, then looked at Gu Xihuai and the others and said, "The promotion of the next screening will be hard work for everyone."

Everyone immediately smiled and said that it was not hard work, and it was what they should do to cooperate with the crew to promote.Only Gu Xihuai stood aside with a dazed expression and bowed his head in silence. It wasn't until Director Chen called him two or three times that Gu Xihuai realized it.Unconsciously looking at Wen Zhuoyu: "If there is a variety show promotion, can you invite Wen Boss to go with us?"

After all, Wen Zhuoyu's current popularity and topicality are still very hot.Moreover, he himself is also very good at publicity and marketing, so he can take this opportunity to promote "Twins", which the two of them jointly invested in.

Wen Zhuoyu didn't expect that Gu Xihuai would make such a request, and was stunned for a moment.

Director Chen felt that Gu Xihuai's idea was very good, so he immediately reacted and said, "I don't know if Zhuo Yu is willing to help us with this!"

The production process of "Twins" has entered the review stage. If everything goes well, it will probably be scheduled for November.And the movie they are promoting now is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the difference is less than two months. Although it is a little earlier, because several of the actors in "Twins" are director Chen Xusheng's queen team, by the time From time to time, it can be promoted under the banner of the original production of a certain movie, which is also a good way to attract people.

Considering that Wen Zhuoyu is the investor of "Twins" after all, and he is a cameo in this movie, and he doesn't have many roles. If you want Wen Zhuoyu to follow the crew to do promotion, you really have to give Wen Zhuoyu some benefits in exchange. Neither the film's producers nor its distributors have said anything.They even said that as long as Wen Zhuoyu is willing to help with this, they will improve the filming schedule for "Twins" as appropriate when "Twins" is scheduled.

Wen Zhuoyu had nothing to do during the summer vacation except filming and speculating in stocks. Hearing what the producer and distributor said, of course he readily agreed.After all, his agreement is not only for mutual benefit, but also a good opportunity to accumulate contacts.

Chapter 48 "I don't care if I can make money when I make movies, and I won't be able to make money by investing in stocks anyway."

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when the premiere ended, and Gu Xihuai drove Wen Zhuoyu home——

That's right, several houses that Wen Zhuoyu bought have been renovated under the supervision of Gu Xihuai.So this summer vacation, Wen Zhuoyu doesn't need to stay in a hotel anymore, and can directly move to his new house.Gu Xihuai lives downstairs from him.

The decoration styles of the two houses are similar. Wen Zhuoyu himself prefers brighter colors, so the furniture he chooses are all light colors such as beige and pure white, which look particularly comfortable and relaxing.Gu Xihuai's house is mainly in dark gray and black, which looks tougher and calmer.

It's just a little depressing after staying for a long time.

Of course, Wen Zhuoyu wouldn't say that in front of Gu Xihuai, but Wen Zhuoyu preferred to have Gu Xihuai come to his house rather than being a guest at Gu Xihuai's house.

"...I can't live at home for a few days. After the crew starts up, I have to go to the hotel with the crew." Wen Zhuoyu looked at the more comfortable house he lived in, couldn't help but sighed, and asked by the way : "Do you want supper?"

After tossing and tossing for so long, Gu Xihuai was indeed a little hungry.But it was already so late, and Gu Xihuai didn't want to bother Wen Zhuoyu, so he wanted to refuse immediately.

Wen Zhuoyu saw Gu Xihuai's hesitation at a glance, and immediately said: "I'm hungry too, and I plan to cook a bowl of wontons, even if you don't eat them, I will eat them myself."

Gu Xihuai smiled and said, "It's troublesome."

After speaking, Gu Xihuai immediately stood up and said, "Let me help you!"

Wen Zhuoyu smiled and said, "You don't need your help, wontons are ready-made."

There is a new breakfast shop outside the community. The wontons, siu mai, and steamed buns made by the boss are all delicious.Wen Zhuoyu ate it twice and thought it was good, but impatient to get up early and go to the store to eat, so he bought a lot of semi-finished products and went home, kept them frozen in the refrigerator, and just took them out when he wanted to eat.

Wen Zhuoyu went into the kitchen, took a pack of seaweed and a pack of mustard from the refrigerator, and took two packs of wontons stuffed with fresh meat and placed them on the island.Gu Xihuai consciously boiled water in a hot pot, and then put the small wontons into the hot water.A few minutes later, the white water boiled, and Gu Xihuai put the seaweed and mustard into the pot, and added a little salt and white pepper.After waiting for a few more minutes, the fragrant and hot wontons were ready.Wen Zhuoyu picked up two white soup bowls, and poured the wontons in the pot with water into the bowls, and the hot air was fragrant in no time, but it was a pity that there was no coriander at home.

"It smells so good!" Gu Xihuai took a deep breath, picked up the tray and carefully brought two bowls of steaming wontons into the dining room.

It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the city, which had been noisy all day, gradually sank into silence. The stars were shining outside the window and the night breeze was cool. The two people in the room sat face to face at the dining table, eating wontons quietly.

Probably because the daytime entertainment was too tiring, the two of them didn't talk much.However, the atmosphere in the room did not seem silent and oppressive at all. Instead, it carried a little bit of tacit understanding and comfort, and tiredness gradually swept over my heart.

After eating supper, Gu Xihuai washed the dishes very consciously.Then bid farewell to Wen Zhuoyu, and each went home to sleep.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Wen Zhuoyu woke up on time at 06:30.The sun was shining outside the window and the sky was clear. It seemed to be another fine day.

Wen Zhuoyu stretched on the bed, and lay down for a while with his eyes closed, before getting up to wash with some reluctance.In the past few months, we have been filming night scenes, speculating in stocks, and going to class. The almost continuous schedule has severely overdrawn Wen Zhuoyu's physical strength and energy, making him always feel very tired.

After finally having a summer vacation and no work, Wen Zhuoyu originally wanted to lie at home and have a good sleep, but the biological clock did not give Wen Zhuoyu a chance to be lazy.Lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and feeling dizzy after a long time, Wen Zhuoyu had no choice but to get up and do morning exercises.

When I went downstairs, I happened to meet Gu Xihuai who was also going to run in the morning. Wen Zhuoyu said with a smile: "It was almost two o'clock after supper yesterday, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Wen Zhuoyu has a biological clock that prevents him from sleeping in. Gu Xihuai, an actor with a messy schedule, does not exist.Because in their line of work, it's common to shoot at night to catch up with the sunrise. Sometimes even if you don't shoot, you have to shoot until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.So Gu Xihuai absolutely does not have a stable biological clock.When the two were filming "Twins" together, Gu Xihuai basically slept at night while filming.Only on weekends will I take Wen Zhuoyu to inspect the progress of the renovation.

Hearing Wen Zhuoyu's question, Gu Xihuai smiled and said: "I can't sleep for a while. I think you will definitely come out for morning exercises, why don't we go together?"

Wen Zhuoyu raised his eyebrows and readily agreed.

So the two ran around the landscape belt of the community twice, chatting about the upcoming work while running.The movie starring Gu Xihuai has entered the promotion stage, and he will follow the crew to City B for a road show tomorrow.In addition, I have to participate in several variety shows as a flying guest, all for the purpose of promoting the movie.

Wen Zhuoyu is also joining a new movie.It was the script introduced to him by director Chen Xusheng before. It was a literary film, telling the story of handicraft inheritance.Wen Zhuoyu plays an embroidery heir in the movie.In order to play this role well, Wen Zhuoyu has recently taken time to read a lot of materials related to Suzhou embroidery. If he really doesn't have time, he still wants to learn how to embroider.

"At least you have to learn how to thread a needle and twist a thread!" Wen Zhuoyu said: "Fortunately, it won't be turned on until next week, and I still have time."

Having said that, Wen Zhuoyu sighed with a sad face.Looking at his slender and fair hands, he couldn't imagine how they looked like they were threading needles.

In his previous life, he was constrained by Xingyan Film and Television, and he had made some bad dramas and movies in various ways, but he had never been exposed to similar roles.Also did not learn related skills.If it wasn't for the script that really moved Wen Zhuoyu, and it was the leading actor, Wen Zhuoyu wouldn't have even planned to accept it.

Gu Xihuai also read the script, and said with a smile, "I believe in you, you will be able to play the role of Xiusheng well."

Wen Zhuoyu said, "I would like to borrow your good words."

Wen Zhuoyu's next movie is called "Embroidered Spring". If an uninformed audience sees this name, they may think that this movie is related to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact this is a film about the inheritance of embroidery. story.

The embroidery in "Embroidered Spring" is the embroidery of embroidery, and spring is the spring of youth.The male protagonist Xiusheng is the ninth generation successor of Suzhou embroidery masters. Because of his family background, he has learned embroidery since he was a child.Sitting in front of the embroidery frame every day to learn how to divide stitches and how to dye and draw pictures, day after day and year after year, such boring skills are really difficult for a young boy who has always been lively and active.

What makes Xiusheng even more unbearable is that the friends around him cannot accept that Xiusheng will become a master embroidery in the future.They ridiculed embroidery students as "sissy", saying that embroidery is a skill that only girls can learn.Boys of the same age therefore reject the orphan, and no one wants to play with him.And Xiusheng is fed up with other friends who can play football and games after school, but he can only sit in front of the embroidery frame day after day and sort out the needles and threads that will never be separated.

When this patience came to an end, Xiu Sheng finally broke out.He had a big quarrel with his family, smashed the embroidery frame, destroyed all the embroidery samples, and vowed never to touch needlework or learn embroidery again.He also ridiculed his father as a man who only sits at home every day embroidering grass, birds and animals. The embroidered things can't make money, and he wants to delay his son's future.

"Who still likes this kind of old antiques now! It takes time and effort, and you can't sell one in the store for a month. Your style has long been outdated!"

In the end, Xiusheng's complaints were interrupted by his father's tearful slap, and Xiusheng ran away from home in a fit of anger.He found an Internet cafe and played games all night in retaliation until he couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the table.

Then Xiusheng had a dream, dreaming that he went back to his father when he was young.Witnessing the love of his parents with his own eyes, knowing that his father didn't like embroidery when he was young, he finally chose to inherit the family business and continue this inheritance.

In the process of getting in touch with the old-fashioned parents in his impression, Xiusheng also gradually changed his mind.Together with his young parents, he worked hard to overcome the family crisis, understood the weight of this inheritance, and finally woke up from the dream and repented.Back home, I confessed my mistakes to my father, and then I learned embroidery seriously, and finally became a... little famous Internet celebrity.

However, it greatly promoted the art of embroidery.

In his previous life, Wen Zhuoyu hadn't watched this movie, probably because the story was too literary and artistic, and he didn't find an investor in the end.However, Wen Zhuoyu is not short of money. He is willing to invest in this movie and play the role of Xiusheng. The director is also very happy.He didn't even mention the audition, and just handed over the role to Wen Zhuoyu.

"I just want to shoot such a story." When we met for the first time, the director talked to Wen Zhuoyu with red eyes: "Because this is the story between me and my father."

It's just that in reality, the director did not choose embroidery in the end, but was faithful to his dream, and finally applied for the director department of the Film Academy.The Su embroidery skills that have been passed down for several generations have been broken in his generation, and the director's father has always been depressed.

The reason why the director wants to make such a movie is to make up for his father's regret.He knew that he could not inherit this skill, but he was willing to help his father to promote embroidery.It can be regarded as a little effort.

Because of this insistence, the director is unwilling to revise the script.Even after reading the script, many investors agreed that the story was a bit obscure, and hoped that the director could change it, at least add a heroine or something, but the director refused.Because he wants to shoot a pure story.If the script cannot be written according to his own wishes, he would rather not shoot it.

The director's stubbornness drove away wave after wave of investors. No one believed that such a story would become popular, even the director himself knew this.

Fortunately, Chen Xusheng finally pushed the script to Wen Zhuoyu.Wen Zhuoyu liked this story very much after reading it, and decided to bring money into the group.

"I don't care if I can make money when I make a movie. I won't make money by investing in stocks anyway." Wen Zhuoyu smiled and comforted the director: "So we don't have to think about whether we can get back the money after the movie is released, as long as we make this story well."

Wen Zhuoyu thought to himself, he worked so hard to make money, isn't it just to burn money on hobbies!
